One of my most frequently asked questions when planning an engagement photo shoot, is 'what should I bring?'. I wanted to take a moment to answer that question to the best of my ability, even though the answer truly changes depending on the situation. All engagement sessions, and all couples, are different. Here are a few ideas to help inspire you while you are preparing what to bring to your own shoot.

ScheduleSo excited to share the full story from this adorable military engagement session at Cabrillo National Monument. Nicole & Conor are absolutely perfect together. These two lovebirds met socially a few years ago, and were actually already dating the first time I met Nicole a couple years ago when I photographed her for her college graduation. I was beyond happy to hear they got engaged!

I wanted to start this week off right- with a blog post filled to the brim with sparkles and pretty little things. One of my favorite things to photograph, whether its at an engagement session or on the wedding day, is the ring photo. I love to incorporate the ring into its environment, which gives the viewer just a little bit more of the story. Engagement ring photos really tend to take on a life of their own, and every image is unique.

ScheduleI am so excited to share one of my favorite San Diego wedding vendors with you today- Haystack Floral. Chloe of Haystack Floral is absolutely a genius when it comes to floral design. Her whimsical designs & keen sense of color make her wedding floral designs truly unique. She has a bright & fun bohemian garden aesthetic that I am completely obsessed with.

I just couldn't wait to share a quick sneak peek from this morning's gorgeous engagement session at Cabrillo National Monument. These two lovebirds are absolutely adorable together. I actually photographed this beautiful bride-to-be for her graduation photos a couple years ago, and was so excited to hear she had gotten engaged! Stay tuned for more from Nicole & Conor's Engagement session at Cabrillo National Monument! I can't wait to share!

ScheduleBringing your furry family members to your engagement session is such a lovely idea. After all, the engagement session is all about telling the story of who you are as a couple, and if you have pets- they are totally part of how your story begins. There are definitely some pros, cons, and things to prepare when including your pet dog, cat, or parrot in your engagement session, and I am here to help. 

Finding the right photographer to capture the moments on your big day is a daunting task. What do you even ask them? Where do you even begin describing how you hope to remember your wedding day? Here are 10 questions I have been asked by potential couples in the past that I think are hugely helpful in giving a little insight into who we are and the services we provide. There are no right or wrong questions to ask your photographer, really- but get to know them and what they have to offer.

This gorgeous Windansea Beach engagement session was so much fun. When the tide is high, the water crashes against the rocks at Windansea beach in La Jolla, setting the perfect backdrop for some dramatic engagement photos.
