The New Children's Museum in downtown San Diego is definitely one of the best modern venues around. The floor to ceiling window in the main area of the building provides gorgeous light all day long. Because this modern space is so simple, yet architectural, it is the perfect backdrop to work with when creating any wedding style. 

In San Diego, we have no shortage of incredible coastline. It would be impossible to narrow it down to one singular best beach. Here is a short list of the best beaches in San Diego for having a wedding ceremony. The chosen few ceremony sites listed here are not only gorgeous, but also accessible- so you can actually load in everything needed to put together the big day. These are certainly not the only options, but they are my favorites.

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.
