Marriott Marquis

San Diego is one of my favorite cities in the world. This was my first time staying on the marina and it was an incredible experience. The Marriott Marquis SD is a gorgeous property right on the water. I literally didn't leave the resort during my 3-night stay. Two of the days I had a few friends come and hang out we paddled boarded on the marina with SeaForth Rentals, ate lunch at the pool and enjoyed a VIP dinner at Marina Kitchen. This was an experience I won't forget.

For this project I was commissioned to photograph the resort, its interiors, pool and amenities, dining experience as well as my time in San Diego the city and on the water. I also included social coverage on Instagram @technopaul with posts and stories during my stay.
