The engagement photo shoot is a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera and with having me around giving direction. We have a chance to get in synch with each other’s styles. I am laidback and fun to work with, and I make the photography session feel comfortable and natural. The beach is a great place to have your engagement photography session. It’s easy to get couples in motion and find the playful side of that loving connection.

Engagement Photography | On Location

When I plan an engagement shoot with a couple I look for places that are special to them. There was a couple that had met at the University of California San Diego, so a natural place to take them for an engagement photography session was the UCSD campus. Is there a park where you went for a picnic? A scenic overlook where he proposed? Tell me your story and let’s find a beautiful location that means something special to you as a couple for your engagement photography session.

Setting Clients at Ease | Your San Diego Engagement Photography Session

Many people feel awkward in front of the camera for the first time, that’s perfectly understandable. That’s why I prefer to be behind the camera myself, but I try to set my clients at ease. To get my subjects to relax and feel comfortable, I like to get them moving. I also start by shooting from farther away and getting closer shots toward the end of an engagement photography shoot. This gives my subjects time to get used to the camera clicking away and eliminates feeling camera shy.
