This post has been a long time coming, but after thoroughly covering almost every inch of Sunny San Diego, we have compiled a list of our Top 5 Favorite San Diego Photo Shoot Locations. This list is just a few favorites of ours over the years, but don't forget spots like Coronado Bay, USS Midway, Balboa Park & Museums, College Campuses, Anza Borrego Desert, Hotels, Etc. Get creative and make it unique to your family. We love traveling as well, so have an adventurous idea, let us know!
What a beautiful day for a proposal in gorgeous Temecula Valley Wine Country. Brian had planned out the most perfect wine tasting at Avensole Winery in Temecula, CA with a surprise ending. It couldn't have gone anymore perfect, when he asked the love of his life to be his forever. SURPRISE! SHE SAID YES!
Alex had been planning the perfect San Diego day for his bride to be with us for quite some time leading up to the day. His attention to detail and desire to make everything perfect was a true gentlemen's touch! The day was here, and boy could we not have asked for a better scenery and sky that night at II Fornaio in Coronado, CA. Not everything went according to Alex's Plan (As you'll see later) but, if the plan doesn't work, change the plan, but never the goal!
As High School sweethearts Matt & Ashley strolled along the pier in Ocean Beach California, we knew this surprise proposal was going to be one for the books. The cotton candy skies over Ocean Beach Pier were just as sweet as the look on Matt's face as he walked hand in hand with his Fiancee to be!
It started off as a beautiful day at Sunset Cliffs, brilliant blue skies and luscious clouds, mighty crashing waves, golden cliffs, and a loving couple excited for a photo shoot. Little did Leeanne know, this was not any other photo shoot. This session would be the day that changed her life forever.
The session had been in the works for a few weeks by this time. We worked diligently with Steven to mastermind out every detail (the location, the timing, the set up, etc.) that would make their proposal magical. Steven and Leeanne had talked about taking photos so this session would be nothing but that, in her eyes. Steven although, had another plan. We sent many messages back and forth with Steven discussing romantic proposal set ups, that not only included on of the most resplendent viewpoints in San Diego, but a picnic set up for two overlooking the crystal blue waters. We couldn’t wait and got straight to work getting all the props ready for the big day! Something is so catchy about that phrase... Glitz at the Ritz oh boy was there plenty of glitz at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Rancho Mirage! We were hired to capture a once in a life time experience (well for the couple!) and photograph their proposal! What a special thing to be hired to photograph! My wife and I planned it with our contact for close to a week. Planning where at the hotel would provide the best view and lighting and what the perfect time would be, what clothes the couple would be wearing etc. A lot of prep goes into lining up these types of shoots as we have to be completely ready to capture the moment. The adrenaline was pumping... This isn't like a wedding or a sporting event where we are provided with plenty of opportunities to capture the perfect moment. Instead this is a split second, literally SECONDS in which we have to capture the perfect shot. Evaluating all the technical aspects of photography, ISO, shutter, aperture, white balance, composition, framing etc. Of course we got the shot! And to boot the sunset was beyond stunning. The Christmas decorations just brought the glitz to a whole new level. Thank you Ritz Carlton for your incredible Christmas decorations and for being so accommodating to us while we captured this amazing moment. Well I have talked it up enough, take a look! It was truly a spectacular experience and one we will never forget. Thank you to the amazing couple who brought us out to Palm Springs for their Proposal Photography. We could not be more grateful for you! Popping the question?
