About Tim Otto

Based in San Diego, Servicing all of Southern California, Phoenix and available for assignments world wide


As a photographer, I have found my passion in capturing beautiful moments in weddings, engagement sessions and family portraits.


I can’t imagine doing anything else. I truly love what I do and I aspire to produce the finest photography I am capable of without compromise. I always bring passion, energy and relax fun vibes to every event! Creating photographs that you love is priceless!





Originally from Pasadena, but San Diego stole my heart when I moved there for college. I earned my degree in photography and graphics arts from SDSU, and that's where my passion for capturing people truly began. Wedding photography became my calling. There is something magical about documenting a day full of love, laughter, and the energy of a packed dance floor. With over 500 weddings captured I’ve seen it all and it's been an honor to capture all those amazing moments.

I love cooking, music, dogs, The Padres, deep sea fishing, exploring new foodie spots and enjoying great coffee. Landscape photography fuels my love for road trips and traveling to exotic destinations-of course with my camera.


I have photographed weddings through out the United States and countries around the world including Dominican Republic, Italy and Mexico and have been featured in InStyle, Inside Weddings, Town and Country, Exquisite Weddings, Ceremony, San Diego Style, Grace Ormonde Weddings. Art of Celebration Southern California, Southern California Weddings, People-I do!The Great Celebrity Weddings.

My Style:

I blend a variety of styles from a photojournalistic editorial approach to a contemporary fashion edge, all tied together with a timeless romantic touch.
I am comfortable photographing grand elegant celebrations at large venues to small intimate weddings on the beach. I can give direction to make sure everyone looks great and is in the best light but also observe and make sure I'm in the right place to capture the spontaneous moments.
