Kamusta, I am Dino Pastrano
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, PORTRAIT, AND FOOD PHOTOGRAPHER
I'm Dino Pastrano, a passionate wedding, portrait, and food photographer based in Escondido, California. I capture timeless moments and authentic stories, serving San Diego County, including La Jolla, Carlsbad, Del Mar, Temecula, Rancho Santa Fe, and Coronado. Whether it’s a beach wedding, vineyard ceremony, or branding shoot, I create stunning, high-quality images that stand out.
My Story
Life used to be all about scripts and cameras—I spent 15 years as a filmmaker and actor in the Philippines, but I realized my true passion was behind the lens. Photography has always been my thing, and now I get to do it full-time. From wedding photography and portrait photography to food photography, I bring stories to life through stunning visuals. Whether it’s capturing a San Diego wedding, a branding session, or a mouthwatering dish, I’m here to make you (or your food) look amazing!
Why Faces & Flavor?
I’ve always been a people person, and I’ve got a big passion for cooking—which might explain why I love connecting with people over great food. My love for taking portraits naturally led me to weddings, where I get to capture real emotions and genuine connections. There’s nothing better than telling someone’s story through my lens, whether it’s the joy of a couple’s big day or the beauty of a perfectly plated dish.
Authentic moments, timeless stories—let’s capture something unforgettable.
