Balboa Park Photoshoot
Balboa Park is located in the heart of San Diego. It is a historical location that is a hub for museums, theaters, restaurants, and the San Diego Zoo. It is also a great spot for engagement photoshoots and weddings. I have been there countless times for various photoshoots and a couple weddings. It really is a fantastic spot that has a variety of backgrounds and options for portraits. If you like fun architecture, gardens, and a little bit of history, Balboa is a great spot to explore and take photos. I recommend going during a weekday to avoid crowds on the weekend, but I have shot there several times on a Saturday afternoon and it has worked out just fine.
I normally park on the south side parking lot (parking is free) and walk up behind the Spreckels Organ Pavilion. I hop around the park, usually starting at Panama 66 to grab a drink with my clients if there is time, hangout in the garden next to the restaurant, and go from there!
It is also a great location for Grad photos!
With plenty of walking and getting lost in the history of the park, time flies during my shoots there and I always find something new whenever I go.
