Los Angeles, San Diego, and Ventura | California Travel Photography
At the end of April, I drove down the California coast with my mom, as she was headed to San Diego for a conference while I was headed there to shoot Caity and Nate’s wedding in La Jolla. Some of you might remember my Cali Coasting road trip last year, in which I also drove from San Francisco down to San Diego and back, but on a long solo road trip. This time was a bit quicker, but with stops in many of the same cities. This is an incredibly beautiful state we live in! It’s not a terrible way to spend 1500 miles in a car.
