Founded in 1906, Mary Star of the Sea is La Jolla's most charming Catholic church. Located at the corner of Girard Avenue and Kline, the church is right downtown and is conveniently accessed. The sanctuary feels light and welcoming. An interesting abstract of the virgin Mary dominates the altar and overhead an array of large wooden beams crisscross the ceiling.
Photographers are happy to find that the church has more relaxed photography regulations than other churches. However the priest performing the ceremony always has the final say in such matters. As an experienced wedding photographer I have photographed a dozen or more weddings at Mary Star of the Sea. The church and its staff are lovely and accommodating. After the ceremony it's a short walk to La Jolla's most popular reception sites; the La Jolla Womans Club, the La Valencia Hotel, the Grand Colonial Hotel, the La Jolla Cove Suites, the La Jolla Country Club, and the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art.
