When Ashley and Ross told me they wanted their engagement photos shot at their favorite local bar here in San Diego, I knew we were going to create something special. As a San Diego engagement and wedding photographer, I'm always excited when couples choose locations that truly represent who they are.

There's nothing quite like the electricity in the air right before a proposal happens. As a San Diego proposal photographer, I've had the incredible privilege of hiding behind palm trees, crouching behind rocks at Sunset Cliffs , and blending into crowds at Balboa Park Balboa Park to capture some of the most authentic, raw emotions I've ever witnessed through my lens.
