The feeling of Paris right when you walk through the beautiful golden doors. The grand entry lobby with a sweeping staircase and gilded gold accents every turn . This hotel is designed as a recreation of an anteroom in the Palace of Versailles.
THE PERFECT VENUE
Inspired by the art and decor of Versailles, the Westgate is like a Parisian jewel box in the heart of downtown San Diego. As soon as you enter the lobby with its gilded antique art and furniture you feel transported to a French chateau. The Westgate offers numerous options for both indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception, as well as stunning guest rooms and a modern rooftop pool and luxury spa perfect for pre wedding pampering.

I'm wedding and portrait photographer from Southern California, and I'm based out of the quaint wine country town of Temecula California. We also love to travel so if your wedding is a destination, count us in! I'm a mama to a cute little dapper eight-year-old blondie and my fur babies Bella and Bokeh. I am obsessed with decorating and have a love for wine.
After over 7 years of wedding experience, I have learned what it takes to create a true experience over just a service. I want to be with you each step of the way to ensure the best wedding experience possible.
