like us, ally and brian love san diego and being near the ocean. doing their engagement session in the gaslamp and out on point loma was like drinking cherry 7up through a licorice straw… totally fun and bubbly. these two know how to enjoy life together. there were lots of smiles, giggles, hugs, and kisses. it only takes about 3 minutes with brian and ally to see how much they are in love. i can’t think of any other couple that is happier. you’ll know what i’m talking about by the time you get to the bottom of this post. i love taking photos of couples in love, and i laugh taking photos of couples in laugh. thank you brian and ally for being everything we love. i had a lot of fun on our little tour de san diego and i can’t wait for your wedding at casa del prado later this year. we are so paratus for your partayus!

right off the bat brian and ally blew an o-ring with their hotness. luckily, security bought it when we told them it was like that when we found it.

brian and ally had me smiling behind the camera all day long. happy faces are the best faces.

true story, about 5 seconds after i took this a member of the san diego police department drove up and said “try not to get killed out here.”

i had no idea there were murderers running around gaslamp.

one short drive and a lightning fast wardrobe change in the car later brian and ally found themselves in the colorful snakey hills near the sea, point loma.

this wall with horrible grammar made for a funny backdrop. “clear when horn area fog sounds”, that guy would so be fired.

ally couldn’t have bailed her jacket and braved the chilly winds for this shot without her fierceness. neither brian or i possess the level of fierceness it takes to wear a dress out in that kind of cold, and we’re ok with that (for more than one reason).

what do you do when it gets dark and cold? we like to play on tree swings.

i had a little spare time. ally and brian had their wedding rings. it was kismet. i don’t usually post ring shots before a wedding but then again, danger is my middle name.
