Abiding Image, formerly Lynnette Mortero Photography, is the product of San Diego-based wedding photographer, Lynnette Coalson and her husband, Larry. Welcome to our site!!! When choosing your wedding photographer, it’s not only important that you love their photography style and trust their skills, but also that your personalities “click”. Why? Because your wedding photographer…or photographers… will be by your side for a majority of your wedding day…hanging out with you in your hotel room, trailing alongside before you walk down the aisle, and sometimes they’re the first face you notice after you walk back down as husband and wife. This is why we love to meet with couples before they book with us. We can get together for coffee or even chat with you in the comfort of your own home. If you don’t live in San Diego, then not a problem…let’s chat over the phone. But for now, you can scroll down to catch a glimpse of who we are…
get to know LYNNETTE…
My name’s Lynnette and aside from my obvious love for weddings and photography, I have three main LOVES in my life…my LORD, my hubby, and my little baby boy! They are what life is all about (: What else do I love? Growing up in San Diego, I, of course, love huge carne asada and california burritos (the bigger the better). I love the water…whether I’m swimming in it, surfing, or just relaxing in it. I’m a sucker for romantic flicks, like Twilight and Pride & Prejudice. I thoroughly enjoy eating. In fact, I eat more than my husband. I love goofing off with my son and dancing with him to “Who let the dogs out”.
I’ve been a photographer for almost 6 years. Many people ask me what got me started in photography. Well..it wasn’t weddings. At first I wanted to do surf photography or editorial work for Quicksilver or Billabong. I didn’t know at the time how amazing wedding photography could be. I thought wedding photography consisted only of the traditional, straight-angle photos that I had seen in my parent’s wedding album. But one day, I ran into a wedding photographer’s website whose work blew me away! That’s when I told myself, “That’s what I want to do!” … and here I am now… doing what I love with the love of my life.
get to know LARRY…
Hi this is Larry, and I never thought I would be a wedding photographer! It was seriously the last thing I would have ever dreamed of doing. I have always loved photography but never thought of it as a profession. It wasn’t until I met my beautiful, lovely wife that I began to see the possibilites of photography. It is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. There are few things more satisfying than seeing fantastic pictures of a couple on one of the biggest days of their lives. Knowing that those photos are going to be in their family for years to come, and I am helping them remember that day in detail. Not to mention… I get to spend each and every day with my lover and best friend, Lynnette. Each wedding is a chance to renew our vows and a pleasant reminder of what is really important in life, God, Family and Friends.
