Giving back
PHILANTHROPY
Giving back the city that has given me so much! San Diego has been home since I was born. I love this city with all my heart and it's been one of my greatest pleasures to give back to it. Working with amazing groups like Susan G. Komen, the make a wish foundation, and the Oceans foundation.
I'm Wally Wilson and this is my family. I'm a born and raised San Diego wedding photographer and I'll never leave this beautiful city. I started my company 10 years ago after finishing photo school. After 400+ weddings later, I have never looked back.
I love my growing family, gardening, traveling, and wine tasting. I'm passionate about what I do and have never considered being a photographer work.
A: I do. I describe my style in one sentence:
“I am a photojournalist who masterfully
combines candid images to create elegant
portraits.” I believe that real moments are the
best, and the more organic your photos are,
the better.
Q: What are some of your favorite
wedding venues in San Diego?
A: This is a tough one! San Diego has
so many beautiful places for weddings.
Some of my favorites are the US Grant,
Rancho Valencia Resort, the Mission Bay
Hilton Resort, La Valencia Hotel and Aviara
Park Hyatt.
Q: What do you like best about
being a wedding photographer?
A: My couples, hands down! I truly work with
some of the best couples in San Diego. It’s so
awesome because I’m part of this momentous
day in their lives and my photos will be
shared and passed down from generation to
generation. It’s a humbling feeling.
Q: How did you get into
wedding photography?
A: My first year in photography school I
aspired to be the modern-day Ansel Adams.
During my second year, however, I fell in love
with a local photographer’s work. It was so
edgy and candid. His name is Bil Zelman and
at the time he was still shooting very HIGH END
weddings (now he only shoots commercial
work). For months I begged him for an
internship, and after about six months of
relentlessly showing up at his studio, he finally
took me on. I worked my butt off for him,
and in the process learned how to photograph
weddings from one of the best wedding
photographers of our time. The rest is history,
and Bil and I are great friends to this daySubheading
Q: What’s the coolest place you ever
photographed a wedding?
A: You keep hitting me with these hard
questions! I’ve photographed some epic
destination weddings over the years. A few
that stand out are Tulum Mexico, Breckenridge
Colorado, and Kennebunkport, Maine.
All amazing places, and really great couples
