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!






I'm originally from Pasadena, but San Diego stole my heart when I moved there for college. I earned my degree in graphics and photography from SDSU.

People are my favorite subjects, which is why I fell in love with wedding photography. There’s something magical about documenting a day full of love, laughter, and packed dance floors. With over 500 weddings under my belt, I’ve seen it all—from tear-jerking vows to unforgettable dance moves.It's been an honor to capture all these amazing moments.

I love dogs, deep sea fishing,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.


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.
