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!

Pearl & Anthony’s Wedding Day

I might be partial to east-meets-west weddings, surely due to my own Filipino (me)/Caucasian (wife Nance)/Chinese (daughter Sophie) family. Pearl and Anthony’s blending of cultures was familiar territory, but I looked forward to photographing their uniqueness  – the affectionate gestures from family; the crafted details that embellished their beautiful wedding day; the shared moments owned and savored by close friends. But, most importantly, the uniqueness of a bond that is Pearl’s and Anthony’s alone is what wedding day images should communicate, a bond that gains clarity as I witness and record a full day shared with those they hold close to their heart …
