Yep, that’s right, stop by your local store or news stand to grab a copy of Studio Duva’s debut as cover photographer for San Diego Style Weddings magazine! Last year Tricia landed a Quick Guide cover, but that was just a prelude to Justin’s full magazine cover image and 5-page fashion spread inside the magazine. OK, quite a few of the spread photos were Tricia’s, but Justin was definitely the winner in our ongoing competition!
And the best part…that at the magazine launch party, this cover was voted the Vendor’s Favorite.
Thanks to the vendors who made this fashion shoot happen:
Adorations Botanical Artistry
T&T Make-Up

Long Time No Blog…
We’ve been a little busy around here at Studio Duva since November of last year. Our newest little bundle decided to join the world on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11. Since this was our second time bringing a new photographer into the world, we kept our shooting schedule light, but never stopped completely. So, now that the Little Miss is three months old and we are all rested after the holiday rush, we’re starting the New Year off with promises to fill up our blog with all of last year’s pretty pictures for your viewing enjoyment.
Welcome Evalena Patricia Duva!




A little slideshow of the brand new baby moments below. Unfortunately, with the Swine Flu epidemic, our little Jackson wasn’t able to visit us at the hospital. So, the first time he met his baby sister was in front of Scripps Memorial Hospital when we checked out. I wish I had taken the name of the valet volunteer who was so sweet to take over our camera and take a few images of our first moments as a family of four. It was such a sweet moment that not only were we crying, but everyone outside of the hospital was tearing up too!

We usually don’t blog much about the corporate work we do. Headshots and tradeshows just aren’t usually as fun to look at as pretty wedding details.
Enter Eufora International, a hair care product company located in Carlsbad. Eufora’s natural, aloe-based products are one of the leading salon products, used by stylists worldwide. So when Eufora puts on a conference, you can expect to see stylists from around the globe, and some of the best hair ever in one room.
Each year, Eufora invites stylists to learn more about the cutting edge of styling and in the process puts on a fabulous fashion show. This year, hair through the ages and into the future. With a special appearance by some local men in uniform…and yes, they marched in the fashion show…so darn cool. Enjoy!






We are so very behind on blogging, and we have lots of weddings and portrait to share with you. Even though it’s terribly out of order, we want to share Elizabeth and Mike’s teasers to hold them over until they get well and can come into the studio for their viewing session (the beautiful bride got sick immediately after their two weeks honeymoon to Greece and Istambul). These two hosted a beautiful, intimate affair on the shores of La Jolla. With a live band, and a number of out of town guests, they showed their friends and family a great party after the sun set.

You may recognize Adela and Vince from their very unique engagement session (back in February) at Adela’s family avocado orchard. Their wedding was just as fun as the day we spent in the orchard, although much more glamorous as Adela went with an Old Hollywood vibe for her beautiful gown and great hair. These two and their families were so happy, and with all of the live music (mariachis during the mass and a fabulous band at the reception) it was quite a party. A few teasers of the fun…enjoy!
