Nick Abadilla Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome …

I'm Nick Abadilla, and I work as a professional photographer based in San Diego, California. Here's a quick snapshot (pun intended) of my life …

I've been happily married to my lovely wife Nance for over 18 years, and together we raise our beautiful and vibrant ten-year old daughter, Sophie who gives us reason to smile and laugh each day. We've traveled the world as a family, and are all the better for it. This year's destination – Anhui Province, China.

I started my business in 2002 following 20 intense but rewarding years in the graphic design industry. With corporate life behind me, I found myself doing a lot of really deep soul searching, ultimately realizing it was time to honor my long-time passion for photography. So with my wife's blessing, I wholeheartedly embraced it as a profession and haven't regretted it for a second. Working from a cozy 900 square foot artist studio in downtown San Diego's Little Italy section, I specialize in distinct wedding photojournalism, custom portraiture and assignment photography. My love for the craft will be evident once you step inside.

With this blog I give you a glimpse into my life behind the camera. I hope you find the posts interesting, entertaining, and maybe even inspiring from time to time. Your comments are most welcome and encouraged. And don't forget to check out my main site at abadillaphoto.com!

Dusti & Mike’s Wedding Day

Beneath a summer sky overlooking the rolling hills of the La Costa Resort golf course, I was honored to photograph Dusti and Mike’s uniquely memorable wedding ceremony. After exchanging their tearful vows, the simple round box in Dusti and Mike’s hands held everyone’s gaze. Curiously, there was no mention of the container in the ceremony program. Removing the jeweled top, Dusti reached in and with a gently pull of the white ribbon within, released dozens of Monarch butterflies fluttering into the warm air. Starting life anew could not have been communicated more symbolically.

The party that followed wasted no time getting started. Mere seconds after Dusti and Mikes grand entrance, the reception shifted into high gear – Arabic style! The pulsating, hypnotic Arab dance music fueled an already energized crowd as they surrounded Dusti and Mike, dancing and singing as if to let them know that today was indeed a day to celebrate life.
