When Angela mentioned wanting to recreate one of their first dates for their San Diego engagement session, I immediately knew it was going to be something special. There’s a certain magic that happens when couples tie their story into their photos; it becomes more than just a session, it becomes a memory in itself. Watching these two retrace those early moments together was so sweet. The laughter, the little looks, and the comfort they have in each other’s presence made it feel effortless to photograph.

After revisiting those early memories, we made our way down to the beach for the second half of their session, and it was pure magic. The soft San Diego light, the ocean breeze, and a classic white car waiting by the shore created the dreamiest scene. Angela and Anthony looked so chic against the coastal backdrop, and the entire evening unfolded like a quiet love story filled with warmth, ease, and genuine joy.

We finished the session in the soft blue light of dusk, and those final images have a calm, cinematic feel that I absolutely love.

Angela and Anthony’s engagement session was the perfect blend of nostalgia and style, a reminder that your session can (and should!) feel like you. Whether that means revisiting a place that holds meaning or ending the night with your toes in the sand, those personal touches always create the most beautiful photos.
