About Tim:

I'm originally from Pasadena, but San Diego stole my heart when I moved there for college. I earned my degree in photography and graphics from SDSU. People are my favorite subjects, which is why I fell in love with wedding photography. There’s something magical about documenting day full of love, laughter, and packed dance floors. With over 300 weddings under my belt, I’ve seen it all.

I love deep sea fishing, cruises, The Padres, cooking, ultimate foodie, music, coffee, discovering new taco shops, sushi, landscape photography, road trips and traveling to exotic locations... of course with my camera.

San Diego Wedding Photographer

My name is Tim Otto and and I photograph San Diego weddings, engagement sessions and portraits. I also photograph a few destination weddings each year. I am fortunate to find my passion in life and I put my heart and soul into my photographs. I specialize in capturing moments, emotions and the relationships with family and friends. I want to create photographs that will be more beautiful than you dreamed they would be. My photographs have been described as dynamic, artistic, romantic, emotional, editorial, intimate, unique, elegant and exquisite.


Some of my favorite locations to photograph in San Diego and its
surrounding areas are:
Hotel del Coronado, Fairmont Grand Del Mar, Estancia Hotel and
Resort, Omni La Costa Resort, The Lodge at Torrey Pines, The
Catamaran, Torrey Pines Hilton, Loews Coronado, Twin Oaks Garden
Club, Darlington House, The US Grant, Scripps Seaside Forum, Hard
Rock Hotel, Westgate Hotel, L'Auberge Del Mar, Mt. Woodson Castle, The
Ultimate Skybox, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Bernardo Inn,
Bernardo Winery, Powerhouse Del Mar, La Jolla Woman’s Club,
Immaculata, St. Therese of Carmel, Our Lady of the Rosary, St. Gregory
the Great, Founders Chapel, St. James Church, Museum of Contemporary
Art, The Crosby, La Valencia, Bahia Hotel, Manchester Hyatt, Rancho
Valencia, Coronado Community Center, The Brick, The Grand Tradition,
The Prado Balboa Park, Japanese Garden, La Jolla Beach and Tennis
Club, The Crossings at Carlsbad, Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, The
Dana on Mission Bay, Marine Room, El Cortez, Leo Carrillo Ranch, Quail
Botanical Gardens, Coasterra.



Temecula Wedding Photographer


Temecula is home to many great wineries. The breathtaking views, rolling
vineyards and old oak wine barrels create a rustic, old-world feel. Here are
some of my favorites:
Europa Village, Falkner Winery, Leoness Cellars, Thornton Winery, Ponte
Family Estate Winery, Callaway Vineyard and Winery, Wilson Creek
Winery, Monte De Oro Winery

Orange County Wedding Photographer


I travel throughout Southern California to photograph events, and Orange
County is conveniently located just up the road. There are many amazing
venues in OC, including:
The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, Seven Degrees, St. Regis Monarch
Beach, Montage Laguna Beach, Surf and Sand Resort, The Resort at
Pelican Hill, The Waterfront Beach Resort A Hilton Hotel, Fairmont
Newport Beach, The Ranch Laguna Beach.

Engagement Wedding Photographer


Engagement sessions are typically scheduled 4-8 months before the
wedding date and are a great opportunity for us to work together before
the wedding. A session usually lasts from 1-3 hours. We will visit a couple
of locations that are meaningful to you, or I have some favorite places I
can recommend. Engagement portraits are usually informal, but
oftentimes clients will bring a couple different outfits to create different
looks, both casual and dressy. Some of my favorite locations are:
Windansea Beach in La Jolla, La Jolla Cove, Balboa Park, Little Italy,
Coronado Centennial Park, Downtown Gaslamp, Del Mar Beach.


Portrait Wedding Photographer


I enjoy documenting every stage of my clients’ lives, from the engagement
portrait to the wedding album to when they start their own families. All of
my wedding couples automatically become part of our lifetime portrait
program, which includes no-session fees for all portraits in the future.
These could include Maternity Photos, Newborn Photos, Holiday
Family Portraits or a 3-Generation Portrait for display in your home. I
specialize in creating custom artwork and firmly believe that photographs
do not belong on flash drives or computers but in albums and on living
room walls. I want to create heirloom art pieces that will be treasured and
pass down through generations of your family.
