It’s so refreshing shooting an engagement session in downtown San Diego. I love couples who don’t just want to run on the beach at sunset holding hands. LOL. It’s true though, a session should in some way, shape, or form represent what you do on a regular basis! AUTHENTICITY my friends. Shauna and Steven are liquor reps in San Diego so starting with a cocktail at Kindred just seemed appropriate. Their pup Frank came along too. 
Dogs are always welcome during your engagement session. In fact, I LOVE IT. As a San Diego wedding photographer there are plenty of dog friendly engagement session locations. Most local bars and cafes are pup friendly in South Park. If your fur baby is a little on the wild side bring a friend to help you. Having a friend help with you pup allows for some pictures of just the two of you. It’s also fun having someone around who knows you best and can make you both giggle.
Mission Trails is another one of my favorite San Diego engagement session spots. It’s close to downtown San Diego. My favorite outdoor locations are in fields or Palm Springs deserts. Fields have a great natural reflector meaning that your skin will be looking good! It also gives us room to run around and be silly. Movement is key in my work so having a big space is always beneficial. 
If your looking to have a downtown San Diego engagement session feel free to pick my brain on good spots. I’m available as a Palm Springs Wedding Photographer, San Diego Wedding Photographer or just about anywhere you want to frolic in love.
