Beach lifestyle engagement photos were the perfect fit for these two lovebirds, who are tying the knot in Mexico this spring—yep, sunshine, tacos, and all the dreamy destination wedding vibes. Now, full disclosure: I don’t shoot weddings anymore. But when they invited me to come along, I had a moment. Actually, several. Torn between my no-wedding rule and my “never say no to adventure” spirit, I realized… how could I not say yes? Exploring this beautiful, bananas world with people who have the same wanderlust? Yes, please.

They’re the kind of couple who’s always on the move. Big smiles, big energy, and that “let’s go everywhere” kind of love. For their La Jolla beach engagement photos, they traveled all the way from Arizona just to catch that golden light, salty air, and cliffside magic that only San Diego can deliver.

And let me tell you: the mushiness was chef’s kiss. Hand-holding, sweet glances, a little splash of silliness—it was everything I love about this job wrapped in ocean breeze and real connection. They made it easy. No stiff poses. No awkwardness. Just two people soaking up the moment and being completely, unapologetically into each other.
