Ana & Nick Engagement - Sunset Cliffs & Night-Time in the Gaslamp!

I've known Ana & Nick for quite awhile now. Nick is one of my best buds and I am looking forward to their wedding this September in which I will be in the wedding as one of Nick's groomsmen! Obviously since I am in the wedding I can't be the one to photograph their big day so instead they asked me to shoot their engagement photos for them. We started at Sunset Cliffs through the sunset and then made it over to the Gaslamp area Downtown to have some fun at night.

Check out a handful below from our shoot...

Exploring San Diego's backcountry with Tricia & Ryan! (engagement session)

I am going to start off by saying this...whenever I have photo shoots that are as much fun and enjoyable as the shoot last weekend was with Tricia and Ryan it makes me feel that there is NO better job in the world! I am now officially 3 for 3 with couples that I have not had a chance to meet in person beforehand but have instantaneously felt at ease from the start and felt like I've known them for years. I can assure you, whenever this happens, the photos will turn out amazing and this was no exception. Ryan is from Texas and Tricia originally from South Dakota so they brought there cowboy boots along and we set off on a little hike to get some rustic / outdoors shots which I love to shoot and incorporate nature into the shots so I was stoked on that! We had a great time getting to know each other and getting some rad shots. Enough with my introduction...here they are (a few of them).

Model Headshots with Amanda @ Balboa Park

Amanda has always been involved with dancing ever since a little girl...Nowadays, she is a cheerleader for a handful of local sports teams. Every year when auditions are being held to be a Charger Girl or Laker Girl Amanda is all over it and has been making it further in the selection process each time.

This morning we set out to Balboa Park to get some head-shots and other awesome photos that Amanda can use this year for her cheer tryouts / application package. The photos came out great and I wish her the best of luck!

Sea World Engagement Session with Vanessa and Mitchell

Last Friday I met up with Vanessa and Mitchell at Sea World to go shoot some fun engagement photos. I can only guess that they chose Sea World because that's where the two of them met each other. It was awesome to have the chance to shoot at Sea World because it gave us a bunch of fun photo opportunities to utilize that I normally wouldn't get to take advantage of.

Mike and Teresa Engagement Session Downtown

This morning I met up with Mike and Teresa to take their engagement photos for them...the chosen destination was Downtown. Downtown was chosen for a couple reasons, firstly - both Mike and Teresa are HUGE baseball fans and second, their wedding reception is going to be held at the Omni hotel. So needless to say, we were able to incorporate both Petco Park and The Omni within our photographs and the results are pretty amazing if you ask me...

Enjoy!
