Looking to make that perfect San Diego wedding video? There are many beautiful, picture perfect locations in San Diego to shoot in and make happy memories of your wedding.

California Tower
There’s the ever popular California Tower with its tiled Spanish campanile that evokes a feeling of the old world. A friend who is a San Diego wedding videographer said once he always likes to do his shoots around the tower. It’s classy and always good for themed photo shoots because it is the perfect representative of the ornate Spanish Moor architecture that encompasses most of San Diego.

San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge
This toll bridge is the major point of access to the city of Coronado but is also a beautiful sight especially at night when it is lit up and the lights are reflected in the water. It is simply magical at night when you are at water level looking up to the bridge. It is also a perennial background used in San Diego wedding videography.

Mount Soledad
Eight hundred feet up from San Diego, Mt. Soledad offers perfect views of all of San Diego. A solitary twenty-nine foot cross sits on the mountain’s peak, incidentally a subject of controversy that adds to the character of this magnificent hill that also offers an unparalleled view of the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the good places to include in wedding photography in San Diego.

Cabrillo Monument/ Point Loma Lighthouse
Erected to commemorate the first European expedition that landed in what was to become the west coast of the United States of America led by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, it is a beautiful park that is located at the tip of scenic Point Loma peninsula. At the highest point of the park is the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, a San Diego icon since 1854. Take in a little bit of history and learn more about the city’s roots, the Cabrillo Monument has always piqued the interest of many a San Diego production video.

Other sites
Then again, you could always go to the regular, ‘touristy’ places like the San Diego Zoo or Sea World. It really depends on what you want for your wedding video. If you are a big fan of animals and wildlife, then by all means go ahead! There’s also the Gaslamp Quarter where the city annually celebrates Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp. It slumped to urban decay before being renewed in 1980. You could also visit Old Town San Diego State Historic Park where the old spirit, the old town is being preserved by the state government.

Traditional Indian weddings usually have a pious stage in the centre like the palki for Sikhs and mandap for Hindus. There are certain arrangements also made like floral arrangements, ice sculptures, fountains and fruit carvings, which make the centre table and the centre pieces, look attractive. Balloons, banners and streamers also serve the same purpose. Food stalls or buffets, specially constructed stages for live music and dancing, add a touch of originality to the wedding location or a venue. Even traditional rangoli patterns can also be drawn on the floors to add a special look. Wedding locations should be spacious, clean and well-decorated.

The rich and famous are well known for spending large sums of money on their wedding receptions. They want to have them at lavish locations and in many instances they want to have them in secluded areas to keep them private. Their time in the spotlight may be well appreciated at times, but no so when they have just gotten married.

Of course the details often leak out to the public through the media. With the number of people that use the internet daily as well as programs on TV giving us the latest scoop on celebrities and the rich, the details usually are released the day after the event takes place. In many of these events though it is the publicist for the couple that release that information so that they can ensure it is accurate.

Due to their work schedules and the warm weather there, California seems to be one of the favorite locations for celebrity wedding receptions to take place. Some of them are right on the beach while others are in fascinating locations. For example the Ritz Carlton in Pasadena where Marcia Cross held hers. The Beverly Hills Hotel is also a prime location in California.

Jetting off to Hawaii is also very popular for the rich and the famous. Generally the wedding receptions there take place outdoors. However, it can be very hard to keep the location under wraps long enough for it to take place. They don’t want to have helicopters and other elements hovering over them when they are trying to enjoy such a wonderful event.

The private estates and land of other celebrities and the rich are also commonly used to host wedding receptions for the rich and the famous. It is perceived as an honor to have such an offer made to many couples. There is also a better chance that their event will be kept private as it needs to be in such a setting. The estates of Elvis Presley and of Johnny Cash are two places where people really enjoy hosting their wedding receptions.

Who can forget the wedding reception of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? Both it and the wedding took place in the Odescalchi Castle. The Kinnitty Castle in Ireland has hosted a couple of wonderful wedding receptions as well. This is where Edele Lynch and Michael Barrett held their wedding reception.

Perhaps not as extravagant as a castle, but wonderful just the same is the Rialto Square in Joliet, Illinois. Christopher Knight and his bride had an amazing wedding reception here. They are just one couple of many rich and famous though that have found this location to be very inspiring to them.

There are some well known celebrities though that do what they can to make their wedding reception as down to Earth as possible. How about a good time with a BBQ? That is exactly what took place with Sandra Bullock and Jesse James. It is also what Julia Roberts did for her wedding. Both of these receptions took place in a fabulous backyard when people were speculating about all types of locations for them to be going on. Their menu had hot dogs, lemonade, and other traditional foods you would find with any group of people eating outdoors.

While most of us are in awe at these wonderful locations where the rich and famous host their wedding receptions, the money just isn’t’ there for most of us to do the same. Don’t let that get you down though as there is no shortage of wonderful places out there where you too can have the wedding reception of your dreams.

Having the wedding in one of California wineries is another unique summer idea.

Other wine regions to choose from are the Paso Robles, Santa Barbara County and Sonoma County.

The state of Colorado is known for winter weddings but summer weddings are also popular in the area. Pike’s Peak is an excellent choice.

The falls cascades into seven steps, thus the origin of its name, down into the solid cliff of granite. A wedding here can accommodate up to 150 persons.

Vancouver Island is “Canada’s Paradise on the Pacific”. One of the outstanding locations in this wonderful city is the Sooke Harbour on Whiffen Spit Beach offering 180 degree view of the Pacific Ocean.

Aside from that, Vancouver is also known for its lush rainforest, beaches, rocky shorelines and vistas. Add to that the well know British city of Victoria with its teas, double-decker buses and horse drawn carriers.
