What can I say about Jeff and Annie's engagement session? When I arrived at the iconic Salk Institute, they were dressed to the nines. Even though there was some construction going on around the facility, the weather provided some gorgeous clouds and the view was spectacular nonetheless. As soon as I started shooting, Jeff and Annie got comfortable real quick and, like professional models, they worked the camera effortlessly.
After Salk, we drove to the second location at the famous La Jolla cliffs. Having gone to UCSD, this had always been one of my favorite photo spots, so it was always on my bucket list to photograph a couple here. So glad Jeff and Annie suggested this location so I could cross that off my list. Again, the weather and light were perfect and as Jeff and Annie cozied up to keep each other warm as the sun began setting, I snapped away. Did I mention how amazing they looked? You can see for yourself.
Lastly, we headed to the beach at La Jolla Shores by the pier. As we were driving down the road I caught a glimpse of the pink and purple sky and the sun just started hitting the horizon. 'Oh no!' I thought, 'we might not make it down there before the sun is completely gone'! But five minutes later we were out of our cars, walking down the path to the beach. Although the light was dwindling down, there was still enough for me to get some spectacular shots of Jeff and Annie as they enjoyed the romantic sunset together.

Shawna & Victor - La Jolla Cove Engagement Session

It seems like only yesterday when I met Victor at my church when he was just a college student at UCSD. It was back in 2008 and we volunteered together on our church's media a/v team. Then he graduated and went on to help form startup called Launchboom that helps crowd-sourcing projects get off the ground. Now he's getting married. Crazy how time flies! So when him and Shawna asked me to take their engagement photos at La Jolla Shores, how could I say no? The session went AMAZINGLY well- these two exhibited the perfect mix of down-to-earth charm and romantic passion that is so evident in the images captured. Not to mention their chemistry was off the charts.  I am so looking forward to their wedding this Saturday and celebrating the start of their new life together! Congrats Victor and Shawna!
