The Bahia always offers great locations for wedding portraits, and the William D. Evans is a fun and atmospheric location for receptions. We enjoyed shooting Shelby and Daniel’s wedding! The classic San Diego weather meant sun and great temperatures for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Poses came together beautifully against several beautiful backgrounds, and the reception was topped off with spirited dancing.
The Bahia is a great resort for a waterfront wedding. Here are some words from their website: Bahia Resort Hotel offers some of San Diego’s most memorable wedding ceremony venues. Embrace the natural beauty of the area with a beachside locale complete with a backdrop of the sparkling waters of Mission Bay. Say “I do” in the exclusive tropical gazebo. Our team of professionals is ready to make your wedding dreams come true.
The William D. Evans is a beautiful boat venue for a reception. Here are some words form their website: Step aboard San Diego’s only sternwheeler boat available for weddings and private events up to 200 guests, and experience 19th-century elegance along with the comfort of modern amenities. With 3,200 square feet of intricate design details and endless photo opportunities, the William D. Evans wedding venue is a truly magical setting to celebrate your next chapter with the love of your life. If you’re looking for something a little different than the traditional ballroom, look no further than the fun and timeless William D. Evans sternwheeler. The majestic boat is Bahia Resort Hotel’s most popular wedding venue and its elaborate design details make a statement without the need for many additional decorations. Let your guests explore multiple levels of stunning indoor spaces (so you don’t have to worry about the weather!) as well as a third level and bow to get some fresh air and enjoy the views. As one of only a few large boats available in San Diego, the venue makes a dramatic backdrop while cruising on the picturesque waters of Mission Bay. As you board onto the 100-foot-long boat and explore each level, you’ll notice beautiful details that extend to every corner of the ship. Along with the stunning stained glass ceiling on the second level, the boat’s ornate ambiance includes three handcrafted wooden masts, a twelve-ton paddlewheel at the stern, pressed tin ceilings, winding wooden staircases, hand-carved mahogany doors and walls, and etched glass windows. All of these vintage details offer photo opportunities at every angle (especially on the bow!), providing a quintessential San Diego nautical experience.
