7 years ago, Makenzie and Brady tied the knot. Each year since, they’ve gone on an anniversary trip to celebrate! Not just any trip though… their trips are themed!

Coronado Beach Engagement Session | San Diego Photographer

For their engagement shoot, we started by the sand dunes at Coronado beach, then made our way over to the water for some epic shots with Point Loma and the sunset as a backdrop. We got the best golden hour light that warmed up their skin and made for gorgeous photos.

The blown sand made it feel like the Arabian desert and the wind added to the drama. It created a hazy and soft effect that made it even better than we could’ve anticipated.

Danielle and Andy met in Vegas 7 years ago at a pool party. Their relationship has never taken a traditional path, so we wanted their engagement session to reflect that.

If I could take adventurous photos of couples on an island every day, I would not be mad 😉

Not only are they fun, generous, and have the kindest hearts, but their love story is unlike any other.

When we did their engagement photos, we expected a beautiful sunny day in Malibu, but instead we got a high tide, overcast sunset. But it ended up being even better than expected!!!

Sophia and Nikki are two polar opposites that perfectly complement each other to create the cutest and sweetest couple ever. They met almost 8 years at a lesbian game night, where Sophia saw Nikki sitting alone across the room. Immediately, she thought “she’s the one.”

As they golf carted up to the viewpoint, we hid and waited for the perfect moment to pop out and photograph her reaction to the proposal!

We took some rad shots of them skateboarding, since it’s a huge part of their relationship. I thought it was so special that they wanted that captured on the day he asked her to marry him!

So, sometimes taking photos at sunrise is actually the best for photos! Not only is the beach empty, but the morning sun is absolutely stunning for pictures. That golden hour glow!!! It’s always fun to grab coffee or breakfast together after photo shoots to celebrate too.

We had a snowball fight, cozied up and ran around in it, and sneaked some sweet kisses in the trees.

These sessions are for those who are down to get a little messy, have their hair blown, and maybe stand on the edge of a cliff (literally). They’ll blow your hiking socks off. The sky is the limit for these, and they’re my specialty!

If you’d rather frolic in the desert, climb a mountain, or visit a desolate stormy beach instead of your typical engagement session, let’s just say I’m already on my way.

Along with their puppy, Finn, we explored the river, hiking trails, a magical bridge, and the Redwood forest! Finally, we made our way to the cliffs to catch a few sunset shots before it went down. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot!

We captured them staying warm (and hot hot hot) under the blankets, frolicking in the sun, and enjoying the scenery. It’s what true adventure couples sessions are all about! Flying out to Texas was such a treat. One of the reasons why I love my job so much is being able to meet and photograph couples all over the world.

Ashley + Kyle are probably the coolest couples I’ve ever met. Haha and I mean that! Check it out: neon wigs, fur coats, glasses, dog, DJ table…

Remember your engagement sesh & your wedding are YOURS. That means let’s do something that represents you. Authenticity, fun, adventure, and love… that’s what it’s all about.
