Encinitas Wedding Photographer bio picture

A little about me...

First off, thanks for taking a second to stop by and check out my work (and now wanting to find more about the person behind it)!

I'm a Carlsbad, CA based photographer who feels incredibly lucky to be documenting
people in meaningful moments in their life whether they're in So-Cal or beyond. I know it sounds corny, but (good) photos can truly tell a story that words never could. It's my mission to capture those moments in modern and fun way. 

I know there are a TON of questions involved with hiring a photographer for your wedding or other special moment, so check out my FAQs if you haven't already.

Or, if you've enjoyed my work and want to talk, give me a call or email me!

RYAN & LINDSAY: DEL MAR LIFESTYLE SESSION

Reed Schmidt San Diego Wedding PhotographyI was really happy to get a chance to take some photos of these newlyweds, Ryan & Lindsay, yesterday in Del Mar. Ryan’s been a great friend of mine since highschool, and I was proud to be the best man in his wedding just a month or so ago. Lindsay, his highschool sweetheart, is absolutely great for him, and I think it comes across in these photos. I just asked them to go walk over there or sit here… and then I think they’d just forget I was there. Which was great, because it ended up allowing us to get some very candid pictures. Ryan & Lindsay, you rock. Can’t wait for the next photoshoot.

After rocking out this outfit, they changed into their dressy outfits. I loved that they both used red in their outfit! So cool. Reed Schmidt San Diego Wedding PhotographyReed Schmidt San Diego Wedding PhotographyReed Schmidt San Diego Wedding PhotographyReed Schmidt San Diego Wedding Photography

It’s funny, in-camera I didn’t know if this composition was going to work, but I LOVED how the arch below ended being positioned behind them. Reed Schmidt San Diego Wedding Photography

We got a bit lost on our way into the shopping center area, and happened on this cool staircase. We liked all the texture, so we grabbed a quick shot before a janitor came through looking at us like we were crazy.

It started getting dark, so I broke out the flash to get some shots back in this little alleyway.Reed Schmidt San Diego Wedding PhotographyReed Schmidt San Diego Wedding PhotographyReed Schmidt San Diego Wedding PhotographyReed Schmidt San Diego Wedding Photography

These are my favorites from the entire session. Love how relaxed they are at this point… just hanging out together. Reed Schmidt San Diego Wedding PhotographyReed Schmidt San Diego Wedding Photography

The last shot we got right before we left. The shopping area had all these great cafe lights, and anyone that knows me, knows how much I LOVE cafe lights. I think they just add a great ‘feeling’ to any area you string ‘em up. And, I think they did just that for these two love birds. Thanks again Ryan & Linds. Reed Schmidt San Diego Wedding Photography
