For the upcoming issue of Exquisite Weddings, we shot our cover and gown fashion spread at Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach with Aaron Feldman of True Photography. The street is filled with artist’s studios, antique shops and home decor stores. You can imagine with this eclectic mix of retailers that the street is filled with colorful textures, architectural elements and fun signage. Hence the reason, True Photography loves to host couples for their engagement shoots here. Here are a few of our favorites plus some fun props to consider if you are planning your engagement shoot on Cedros.
