Blair Nicole Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! My name is Blair and I am a wedding and portrait photographer! I am married to an amazing man, and we have the sweetest little boy ever! My blog will show a little bit of the love I have for my family, and a whole lot of my photography - and I hope my love for my clients shines brightly through those photos too!

    I am based out of Southern California, but absolutely love to travel for weddings everywhere! I love becoming good friends with our clients; watching their love blossom, their families grow, capturing those fun and intimate moments in their life... and of course, having a blast doing it all along the way.

    For a little more info about me, my photography "style", and the clients I typically build amazing friendships with - check out the "Info" pull down in the menu above!

San Diego Wedding Photography – { Heather & Willy : Married! }

Heather is my gorgeous cousin! Shes actually my husbands cousin , but we have known each other for almost 8 years and is as close to family as I have ever had. I love her with all my heart and could not be any happier for her and Willy . They make the most perfect couple – constantly showing what true love really is. I cannot wait to see all the perfect things that the future has in store for them. I did not shoot her wedding, but did snap a few while enjoying her amazing wedding (while staying out of her photographers way!);).

The ceremony & Reception was held at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina.
This was the view from our hotel room at the hotel they got married at.
They had pretty much the same view at the ceremony and reception….amazing!



Saying that Heather and Willy are Chargers fans would be a bit of a understatement;)
This was the perfect choice.



And one of my husband and I with the beautiful bride….I have no idea where willy was…


Funny story about Heather and Willy, and Sean and I…… 8 years ago I went to Heathers parents house for Christmas, this was the first time I had met most of Sean’s big fun family. That day was when most of Sean’s family met Willy too – since both the relationships were pretty new. The October 06’ Sean proposed to me, and a few months later…..Willy proposed to Heather (in Cancun!!). Now this summer, Sean and I got married in June (Heather was actually one of my beautiful bridesmaids!) and they just got married in August. Is that not very cool? I think it is!:)

Just to end things off, I feel blessed to have been married into such an amazing and fun family. Since the moment I walked into Heathers parents house that Christmas 8 years ago, I have felt a sense of warmth and love that I had never experienced before- the feeling of true family. Willy has been part of the family just as long as I have (long before the weddings) and I’m so glad that it’s all finally official!:). Congratulations Heather and Willy, I know that you’re life is going to be full of love, fun trips, great memories, and your own little beautiful family – and I am so glad that I get to be part of it.

Oh!!! And Heather…I can’t wait to have babies together!!! (Inside joke;))

Our Wedding / Mathieu Photography

This coming weekend will mark the one month “anniversary” of Sean and I getting married. I can’t believe its been a month already! It was an amazing day and I am so excited to just be married and happy with my new Hubby!

I meant to post this as soon as I could, but time has just flown by! Anyway….. Let it be known that we had 2 of the most awesome photographers, and I could not be any happier with how the pictures that we have seen so far have turned out. Matt and Molly (of Mathieu Photography) are a really fun husband and wife photo team of awesomeness. They were just so fun and fit in perfectly with our crazy group.

So with out further adieu…. Here is the blog post over on their side of the fence of our wedding.

Now I am just like all the other brides in the world waiting on the edge of my seat for all the rest of the pictures;)

(Oh so sexy photo from disposable cameras at our wedding)

Blair. you are awesome! I just wanted to thank you for all of your encouragement! Seriously, you put a smile on my face all the time! I hope your first few weeks of marriage have been amazing! And I promise just a couple more weeks and the DVD will be in the mail!

Sophia – 1 year old!

Yesterday I met up with Yajayra and Rick to shoot some pictures for Sophia’s 1st birthday! Sophia was ADORABLE…..a little shy with the smiles, but they were so worth the wait when they did come out…..oh and her little random expressions were to die for! You may remember seeing a shot of Sophia in Sue Ellen’s wedding pictures…. Rick (Sophia’s dad) is Sue Ellen’s uncle! Oh and of course Brooklyn (the big pup) got in on some of the pictures too , because he was too cool not to!

















I just loved this family and really hope to be able to take more pictures for them in the future.

Any friends and family that would like to view more photos from this session, or place an order, please e-mail me for link to the personal web page set up for this session. Blairvanbussel @ yahoo.com
