San Diego wedding photographer
Wedding photographs with the eye of a film.
Editorial wedding photography in San Diego, planned and directed by Paul Dal. Book photo on its own or with film. Wedding photography starts at $1,495; photo and film together start at $2,495.
One style, one team, one point of contact.
Couples book film, photo, or both. For elopements, intimate days and smaller weddings, I can shoot photo and film myself. For a full-size wedding, Hybrid Day + 2nd Shooter or a Full Team covers both, with everyone working from one plan — one style, one point of contact.
When you book both, two shooters means two places at once: the photographer holds the frame for the portrait while the film catches the reaction across the room. You plan with me once, and everyone works from the same timeline.
The edit favors story over symmetry. You get the candid laughs and the quiet seconds, not just the posed lineups.

Your photography is planned and directed by Paul Dal. Couples book film, photo, or both. For elopements, intimate days and smaller weddings, I can shoot photo and film myself. For a full-size wedding, Hybrid Day + 2nd Shooter or a Full Team covers both, with everyone working from one plan — one style, one point of contact. When you book film too, photo and film work from the same plan, timeline and style, so your gallery and your film feel like one story.
