Danielle & Chris’s Sunny San Diego Engagement Session

 

“Persistence is key.” These are the words Danielle and Chris use to describe their relationship. They met almost a decade ago and dated here and there, but it took time until things really settled- and the result?! This beautiful fresh relationship, complete with love, sincerity, their pups and of course- persistence! I think it is a lovely lesson and shows their strong drive and motivation.

The three of us (well five if you include those adorable puppies) met at a gorgeous San Diego Brewery. I had the absolute pleasure of capturing their raw love and the essence o their relationship. Looking through the pictures, I love seeing how playful and energizing their love is. Beer, and pizza, and puppies made for quite the incredible first half. But then a quick outfit change and a new location and arguably a better second half- frolicking through the fields of Fiesta Island and chasing each other through the bay waters. They were truly remarkable to work with and we all had a blast! Bring on the wedding celebrations!
