“We love spending our date nights trying new bars, so we figured this would be so us.” 🥰
The moment Myrissa and Chad said that, I knew exactly how their engagement session should feel. Instead of planning a traditional photo shoot, we turned it into one of their favorite date nights. We started with cocktails at a cozy bar 🍸 and ended the evening watching the sunset along the beach in Northern San Diego. 🌅
From the very beginning, everything felt easy and natural. Myrissa might out-emoji me, which honestly says a lot. 😂❤️ Chad reaches for her without even thinking, and those little moments say so much about their relationship. They laugh easily, they have fun together, and they make every moment feel effortless.
As the evening unfolded, they clinked glasses, wandered along the shoreline, and soaked in the golden light. Their engagement session felt playful, flirty, nostalgic, and full of genuine connection. Those are always my favorite sessions because they reflect who a couple truly is instead of asking them to be anyone else.
I love when couples choose an engagement session that reflects who they really are. Instead of asking them to pose, I get to document them laughing, talking, and enjoying time together. Those are the moments that tell the story of their relationship and become the photos they treasure most.
One of the sweetest parts of the day was knowing they drove all the way to Northern San Diego just to spend the evening with us. They kept thanking us throughout the session, but honestly, Brett and I were the lucky ones. We left feeling like we had spent the evening with friends. 💛
