Downtown San Diego Engagement Session: Ivy and Bryan, Part Two

Ivy and Bryan's love story started in Arizona as college students and has evolved where they are now residents of the East Village in San Diego, so what better backdrop for the second part of their engagement session than Downtown San Diego. With champagne in hand, an iconic sunset, and decked out in chic outfits ready to take on the town, Ivy and Bryan's San Diego rooftop engagement session is one of my favorite sessions to date!

Ivy and Bryan, thank you for asking me to document this very special time in your lives: no pressure on me, right?! Ha! I adore you both and am grateful to call you both friends. xo, Evmo

Cactus Garden Engagement Session

Ivy and Bryan, Part 1

Downtown San Diego Portrait Session: Matt, Mia, and Nala

For months, Matt, along with his girlfriend Mia, talked about the potential of adopting a puppy. A simple mention of a puppy is when the anticipation began for them and their friends, myself included, all along for the ride of this puppy adoption process. I love dogs and absolutely believe they become family members once they join a household, so to be a part of the build up for this puppy's arrival was so exciting!

At a few weeks of age, Matt and Mia's fur-baby came home - Nala arrived! - and to celebrate her and their new 'family extension,' portraits were a must! Nala will only be this little once in her life, as she'll grow up to be a full sized Goldendoodle, so now was the best time to capture her, and to see both Matt and Mia beam with joy was an absolute pleasure!

Downtown San Diego Engagement Session: Berenice and David, Part I

When Berenice, aka Bere, met David, she instantly liked him, and as their relationship progressed, she came to find out that David possessed every quality in a guy she had ever wanted. David on the other hand, more than liked Bere: he knew from the get go that she was THE ONE, often telling her, "You know we're gonna get married one day, right?" Bere would shrug it off but knew he was right when she accepted his proposal a little less than a year into dating.

Both Los Angeles natives who currently reside there, Bere and David came to San Diego for a weekend getaway and to have their engagement photos shot. When I asked them what they liked to do as a couple, Bere immediately said, "We like to grab coffee or drinks" so we met downtown for ice cold lemonades for Part 1 of 2 of their engagement session.

I mean, come on now: Bere and David, you two are gorgeous!

I loved hanging out with these two because they are always making the other laugh!

Per above, David has no shame in his game: he will do anything to make Berenice happy.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of their engagement session!
