I am a San Diego-based photographer who had the pleasure of shooting an elopement at Malibu Solstice in December 2020. It was easily one of my favorite places I've ever photographed - it is a photographers dream! The architecture, the views, that staircase - holy smokes I had a blast and they are some of my favorite images ever. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone who wants to 'wow' their guests with California magic! Can't wait to shoot at Malibu Solstice again!!!!!!
