Nathaniel & Darby’s San Diego beach engagement session

We LOVE photographing engagement sessions at the beach!

Nate and Darby are our most recent couple to contact us about engagement pictures. They are high school sweethearts (love it!) from Montana and plan on getting married there later this year. Nate is in the Marines’s (the uniform gave it away, huh?) and will be deploying VERY shortly. He eventually wants to pursue a career in Fire rescue/EMT, hopefully in the San Diego area.

We started off their engagement session at Wind-n-sea beach, which is famous for it’s surf, thatched hut, ocean spray and beautiful rocky beach. It did not disappoint!
Then we darted off for more pictures in Pacific Beach. With a quick wardrobe change, Nate and Darby were ready to get their toes in the sand!!!

These two were naturals in front of the camera. They were always smiling and playing around, which makes for great candid shots!

Thanks for having us Nate and Darby!

Matt and Allison’s beach engagement session

Matt and Allison live in Las Vegas and contacted us for an engagement session at the beach in San Diego.
WELLLLL….how perfect! We happen to live three blocks from the beach!!

Ross and I rode our bikes up to meet the couple at Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach. It was a glorious day in the middle of February! 75 degrees in February…awesome!!!

Matt and Allison…we DO travel for weddings!!! *wink*wink*

San Diego…Oh how I love thee…

Sean & Mairead Wedding

Sean and Mairead Glass are now married!

Sean and Mairead were married this past Saturday in the beautiful Sacred Heart Church on Coronado Island, California. You may remember them from their engagement session late last year. I absolutely adore these two! They are such an inspiration to others and you can tell they will make w.o.n.d.e.r.f.u.l parents some day!

I asked Sean and Mairead a little about themselves. This is what they had to say…

How did you two meet?
We met at dinner at a mutual friend’s parents’ house. We kept seeing each other there!

How did Sean pop the question?
Sean completely surprised me by proposing at my parents’ house in NH. We went for a walk in the woods on a pretty trail that ended in a covered bridge over a stream…he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.

Why Sean?
Sean is the perfect man for me. He is better than anything I could have imagined for myself!

Why Mairead?
The long answer is that I know without a doubt that Mairead is the woman that God chose for me. With Mairead I have grown in my faith and I have grown as a man. My job takes me away from her frequently, but I know that when we have children and I am away, Mairead will love them and guard them and share our faith with them. It will be very trying, but Mairead is strong.

The short answer is that my soon-to-be wife is drop dead gorgeous. She makes me laugh and everyday I am with her is a great day. I now and forever will love Mairead with all of my heart.

Where are you going on your honeymoon and WHY?
We are going to head to Costa Rica – we wanted a place where we had the option to be active but could also be lazy without feeling guilty. We are going to an all inclusive resort that offers lots of outdoor activities. We’ll love it – especially since we can get pretty competitive with sports!
