Engagement Photos at Balboa Park with an Architectural Focus

Bonny and James, whose wedding is being planned by Amorology (my own wedding planner), had their engagement photos at Balboa Park. Both are on the road to becoming doctors, so I can’t wait to see if their wedding includes any fun medical references!

Engagement Photos at Balboa Park

For Bonny and James’ photos, I included several iconic architectural elements to pay homage to their love for San Diego. Having been away from this beautiful city for medical school and residency, they adored every second of exploring the park. During their session, we shot in a few areas of the park they’d never before seen. I felt like such a knowledgeable tour guide!

Bonny and James’ black outfits contrasted beautifully in front of the neutral backdrops of the park. Black never goes out of style and always provides a timeless look to photos.

The couple changed into a more casual, yet still chic, look for their second outfit. Gorgeous golden hour light illuminated the buildings around them so beautifully. That light is why I schedule engagement sessions for an hour and a half before sunset. It truly produces the most dreamy images.

Stay tuned for images from their December wedding at L’Auberge Del Mar with Amorology and Siren Floral Co. I am seriously so excited to see what magic they create for this intelligent and sweet couple!
