Sunset Cliffs Engagement Session: Eve and Matt

Matt sought a partner with TSA pre check and the ability to ski. Eve? She wanted a feminist partner who would embrace her Queer community. Matt fit the bill, and Eve needed ski lessons and pushed back on that extra security clearance. 

The good news: sparks flew during their first date picnic at Balboa Park, right next to the Rose Garden. A Hinge match, Matt kissed Eve within the hour of meeting each other for the first time and launched their love story. 

Since being with Matt. doesn't have to take her shoes off at the airport ha! What each also found after that romantic first date was a true, deep love and a lot of fun which we had at their Sunset Cliffs engagement session. 

And speaking of shoes, Eve brought her pair of heeled Dr. Martens 'just in case' we had time to photograph her in them and of course I made time! Anything that is special to someone should be included in photos.

San Diego Courthouse Wedding: Lindsey and Tyler

Lindsey and Tyler would bring together their families for a San Diego courthouse wedding and burgers and beers later in Ocean Beach, BUT they needed to make a stop at Sunset Cliffs for their wedding portraits. Sunset Cliffs is where these two call home and it meant a lot to them to be able to capture their love with their home as the backdrop. A few details I loved about their day: Lindsey's wedding dress - gorgeous and perfect to twirl in - and a pin Tyler wore of a photo of his parents, who are longer with us. A very special way to include and recognize them on their wedding day. Congratulations, Lindsey and Tyler!

San Diego Courthouse Wedding: Patricia and Marcos

It's just coffee?! Anyone who has dated has likely said this once in their dating life, but when a simple coffee date turns into a DAY LONG date, it's a good sign. This is how Patricia and Marcos' love story began, eventually evolving into an exchange of new interests and hobbies: Patricia opened Marcos' eyes to the symphony and Marcos introduced her to soccer.

When Patricia and Marcos reached out to me to photograph their San Diego civil marriage ceremony, I was thrilled: they were able to get an appointment with the county clerk's office four years and one day upon meeting and would marry at the 'marriage hut' set up by the San Diego Administration Building due to the Covid, an opportunity for those very much in love to still move forward in their plans to wed despite the current pandemic. With the San Diego County Administration Building as our first backdrop, we had an amazing morning documenting wedding photos at Waterfront Park.

Patricia and Marcos, you came looking fly! Absolutely stunning, and you gave me your best energy, which I so appreciate. I can't wait to see what adventures you both get into together! xo, Evelyn
