1 Balboa Park

I absolutely love Balboa Park, it is such a beautiful location in the heart of the city. There are amazing gardens, buildings and so many spots that we can use like the Organ Pavilion and the Lily Pond to name a few.

The park is really big so in order to cover different areas you will have to walk so if you are planning on doing your Quinceanera photo shoot at Balboa Park make sure to wear comfortable shoes.

Here is a picture of a Quinceanera with 7 Damas and 7 Chambelanes at the Organ Pavilion

Address: This one will depend on the exact part in the park that you want to go to but you can just google Balboa Park and it will take you straight to the park.


2 La Jolla

This one is by far my favorite location for beach photo shoots, specially if you are looking for a sunset Quinceanera photo shoot.

There are a couple of beaches you can go to from Windansea beach to the Cove and you could even include the Scripps pier.

No matter which part of La Jolla you decide on, the views are absolutely breathtaking.

Address: Once again it will depend on which exact beach you are trying to go to but google La Jolla shores and you can drive from there.


3 Coronado

Coronado is the perfect spot if you are looking for that iconic San Diego city view for your Quinceanera photo shoot.

If you decide on The Ferry Landing side there are some green areas that we could also use for the pictures and there is a small beach right there so you can have a variety of backgrounds for your pictures in one location.

You could decide to go to the other side of Coronado Island, the beach by the Hotel del Coronado. The beach on that side is really big so you will have plenty of room and you could also have the Hotel on the background.

Address: Will depend on which side of the Island you want to go. Google Ferry Landing for the city view and Hotel del Coronado for the other side.


4 Presidio Park

This is the perfect spot if you are looking for a nice view without too much of a crowd for your Quinceanera Photo Shoot.

I love using the Junipero Serra museum at the very top of the hill. The construction is like a traditional adobe construction very similar to the ones you can see at Old Town San Diego.

There are some green areas too but I like focusing on the construction and you can’t beat the view from the top.

5 Seaport Village

This one is very touristic and popular place for Quinceanera photo shoots. We have the gardens, the bridge and a great view of the bay.

This location is not as big as Balboa Park but it also offers a lot of different backgrounds for your pictures so you won’t have to walk around for too long.
