Laura and Zsombor are planning their wedding on the beach in Oceanside, California, so when we were talking about where they would like to do their engagement sessions they wanted to avoid the beach. I thought, as I think Laura did that given Zsombor is an architect they would want to include some San Diego skyline, or perhaps some of the architecture at Balboa Park. But no, Zsombor told Laura he wanted to shoot outside, someplace like Julian. Maybe that’s because Laura’s an archeologist and he wanted her to be comfortable since she spends her days digging in the dirt avoiding snakes, scorpions and un-exploded ordinance from an old army bombing range.
Although there’s not the amazing apple pie that Julian is noted for at Mission Trails Park in San Diego, there’s plenty of beautiful tall grass, old split rail fences and open trails to wander with rolling hills in the background. So we packed a picnic and hit the trails. Check out a few of the images from their engagement shoot below. You can also view more on my facebook page.
Oh! And word to the wise … when it says “Gates close at 7:00pm” what they mean is, “Gates close at 7:00pm, and you and your car will be locked in!” I don’t know how I didn’t understand that. We did manage to get let out at about 7:40pm.

For the second shoot Lindsey and I did together we started work on fitness images for her and my commercial portfolio. Lindsey was a total sport (no pun intended) about this shoot because she had just finished getting innoculations for her trip to Nepal, went home slept, got up and came to do the shoot with one gimpy arm from all the shots. Even though she wasn’t feeling 100% she sure gave 100% to the shoot.
I love the range of lighting and concepts that we created through this shoot. I wanted to make some images that could be straight advertising shots, and some that would be more editorial. Adding in the outdoor shoot when Lindsey returns will give us the ability to combine the studio portraits with ‘action’ shots to create real dynamic contrasts with the images in the portfolio.
For this next image I wanted to create a more iconic image: I had Soviet propaganda posters in my head for the posing and lighting as well as the processing of the image.
This final image I played around a bit with HDR processing of a single file to create greater contrast and texture with the lighting and faux sweat!
Oh by the way according to Lindsey faux sweat … not so tasty!

I’m thrilled that Josel & Brad’s Trash the Dress session that Pete and I photographed in San Diego back in March was recently featured on Bridepop.com’s blog. Josel and Brad planned their destination wedding here in San Diego, and wanted to take advantage of the scenery at the beach, and the cliffs but didn’t have time during their wedding day to do any portraits at the ocean. So a few days later, before they traveled home to Washington, DC we met up at Sunset Cliffs to photograph a day after/trash the dress session that was outstanding. It was really an opportunity to create some unique portraits for them both to add to their already amazing wedding memories.
If you haven’t visited Bridepop it’s a great resource and place to find inspiration for your wedding planning and I’m so honored to have my photography featured on their site. If you’re thinking about a Trash the Dress or Day After session, or just want to know more about them, you can also read my article in the resources section of my blog.
