Mission Trails Engagement: Art and Elmer

Hiking through national parks, road trips up and down the West Coast, and relaxing beach days, Art and Elmer are always on the hunt for adventure. Their mutual love for the outdoors quickly bonded them upon meeting as well as their love to kick back and enjoy a beverage or two to celebrate life. Their latest celebration? Their engagement, and San Diego's Mission Trails Regional Park was the perfect backdrop for Art and Elmer's engagement session: it has the nature, water, and trails they are always seeking and love, and in staying true to their personal style, they brought a bottle to pop, toast, and enjoy as well!

Art and Elmer, you know I adore you both and am grateful you asked me to document this very special time in your lives. Your openness for fun and laughter during this session made me love you guys more! xoxo, Evelyn

Mission Trails Engagement: Megan and Branden

Some say, family knows best. In the case of Megan and Branden, their respective siblings knew that these two would be a perfect match and introduced them in hopes the two San Diego natives would fall for each other. Sure enough, Megan and Branden fell in love over their mutual interest in hiking, checking out new restaurants on date nights, and paddle boarding. It was during one of their weekend hikes that Branden surprised Megan with a marriage proposal to which she accepted.

Megan and Branden, I like your sense of adventure, how you are each so calm and collected resulting in zero qualms about going through streams, between bushes, or into trees during your Mission Trails engagement session. I cannot wait to photograph your upcoming wedding, especially with that dessert bar! xo, Evelyn
