Sam and Nick got ready at the beautiful Rancho Bernardo Inn and did a first look and some poses there before moving on to the main venue of the San Diego Safari Park. We love shooting at the Safari Park, not only because of the awesome animals, but because of the unique backgrounds. We had fun shooting this wedding!
