San Diego Engagement Photographer // Melissa + Anh

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 00:12:09 +0000

SoCal inhabitants are so blessed with an abundance of beautiful, natural light, lovely outdoor venues, and warm temperatures year-round. As a photographer, I feel like I have shot in a lot of the popular areas that San Diego has to offer. So, imagine my surprise when Melissa + Anh suggested San Diego State University as the backdrop for their engagement shoot. With the beautiful Spanish architecture and diversity of the sprawling campus, why had I never thought of this before?

I’m happy to say that the session was a smashing success… I can’t wait to see more of this beautiful couple at their wedding in August!

Babies are awesome. Babies in vintage cribs are even awesomer.

Had to post a couple more to tide Mama over.

San Diego Family Photographer // Nicole + Gabriel

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” -Washington Irving

It seems that when a family is made up of only two individuals, it’s them against the world. As long as they have each other, everything will always be okay. The bond that Nicole and Gabriel have embodies that. Although Gabriel is 100% rambunctious, spirited boy, anyone can see that is mom is his best friend. And when talking to Nicole, one only has to look at her glowing face to see how proud she is of her son. It was such a joy to spend a windy, beach-y, afternoon with these two, playing, laughing and bearing witness to their amazing relationship.

Personal // A Green Flash For Richard

… without whose balcony these photos would not be possible.

Most Southern Californians have heard about the elusive “green flash,” the green light that sometimes appears for a second or two as the sun goes down over the ocean. In San Diego alone, there is a restaurant named after it, a great craft brewery, and a lending group, among other things. I had seen the phenomenon once or twice in my life before, but since moving to the beach, sightings have been slightly more frequent, although no less thrilling. The best days are when people gather at Lahaina’s, along the boardwalk, and on our balconies, watching the sun go down and holding our collective breath that we see a bit of green. And when we do, the crowds erupt in applause, everyone in agreement that it was a good one.
