Josi and Ryan - Santa Monica Engagement Photography

This past Saturday I spent the day with my bestess (is that even a word?) friends in the world to photograph their engagement session in Santa Monica. Loyal blog readers will remember Josi and Ryan from my post on Ryan's awesome proposal. It was a very laid back session that ended with some awesome funnel cake on the pier.

We hit the 3rd Street Promenade to start out the session....

Jessica and Scott - San Diego Engagement Photography

I spent a wonderful day with Jessica and Scott in San Diego for their engagement session. They're actually from the midwest, but Scott is earning his PhD from UCSD (University of California, San Diego) so they are enjoying the southern California lifestyle until he is finished. Well, they wanted to show off their new city to all their friends and family back home in Wisconsin and Minnesota, so we hit a bunch of fun spots around the city for photos, including Balboa Park, UCSD campus, downtown San Diego, and of course, the beach!

It was a fun day of sightseeing and we got some great engagement photographs to boot! I'm looking forward to their wedding in Madison, Wisconsin this October!

We started out on UCSD's campus and found some fun spots for pictures....

After the campus tour, we headed to beautiful Balboa Park for more photos.

We could have spent the entire day at Balboa Park, there are so many beautiful spots for photos!

Looks like we weren't the only ones with this idea, I think we saw about seven wedding parties having photos taken around the park....

After a quick stop downtown we headed to La Jolla Beach to finish off the day....
