Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending time with Jennifer and Josh for their engagement session. We got started in Balboa Park, and pretty soon we were off to the beach to shoot around Belmont Park, proving that two parks are indeed, better than one. I’m always thanking my lucky stars that so many of my clients are so easy-going and fun to spend time with, and these two were no exception. Jen and Josh made the session really fun from start to finish, and I’m all the more excited about shooting their wedding later this year. Sometimes, as a photographer, it’s better to just sort of stay out of the couples way and let them be themselves, which is a real treat. I think you’ll see from these images that they made my job easy. (or at least, seem easy!)
Yes! Christian Louboutin heels for the engagement session definitely bodes well for the wedding!
A Louboutin heel does have height advantages, however.
One of our goals at Belmont Park was to get on the coaster, but apparently in order to bring a camera on the coaster now, you have to sneak it on. I’m tempted to go back with a camera stashed in a bag…We still had fun, starting with Josh swishing a basket to win his bride a dolphin. 
We took a few minutes to take in the beautiful sunset on the beach behind the park.
Back to the park for one more ride!
Adrienne and Jon are currently enjoying living in New York City these days, but they will be back this May for their wedding at the Scripps Pavilion in La Jolla. I met up with them both at Balboa Park recently since they were in town for the holidays. I’m happy to be sharing a handful of images from their engagement session on a perfect San Diego afternoon. I love to shoot in Balboa Park since there’s always beautiful light if you know where to look for it, and I’m definitely looking forward to photographing them both on the beach in La Jolla in full wedding regalia. I always feel lucky to have such cool clients! I think their engagements are really sweet and beautiful, because that’s just how they are with each other.
A little over a week ago I headed up to Balboa Park to photograph Amanda and David. I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding and reception later this year in Coronado. We had a perfect spring day to work with as we walked around the park, choosing spots to shoot. David is a Navy man, and it looks like both Amanda and David may be headed for Annapolis next year for David’s next assignment, so I’m glad we were able to capture a handful of golden, California images for them to remember San Diego with. I can already tell that photographing their wedding is going to be a lot of fun, and that Amanda will soon make a stunning bride!
After our session was over, and I was walking out of Balboa Park to head down to the El Cortez, I stopped to check out the moonrise. I loved the way it looked as I was passing this tree near the dog park, so I snapped this image. For some reason I really like it, so I’m sharing it here.
