Torre and Andrew love to travel and try new foods, so 100 wines was the perfect unique wedding venue for their San Diego wedding. The food there is out of this world (as most San Diegans know, food at any Cohn Restaurant is on another level of delicious). And since the restaurant already has a cool, exotic French vibe, the couple didn't have to do much to transform the already awesome space. A few simple florals, and the restaurant was event-ready. Restaurant weddings are an excellent budget-friendly venue option, as most of the details and decorations are already included in the restaurant's motif.

Not only is the light absolutely gorgeous, but this popular tourist destination is also pretty quiet if you get there before everything opens.

Downtown San Diego is unique, full of life, and is definitely one of the best places around for an engagement photo shoot! Cheryll & Jorel love the city just as much as I do, and they wanted to use the unique architectural landscape that makes up downtown San Diego as the background for their engagement session.
