La Jolla Shores Engagement Photos with a Champagne Picnic

Erin and Bryson both live on the East Coast where it’s currently freezing cold. When I suggested they have a beach session here in San Diego, they loved the idea! Their La Jolla Shores engagement photos not only feature such an adorable and charismatic couple, but also a chic champagne picnic on the beach. If you know me, you know I love champagne and picnics, so it’s no surprise I adore these images especially since they were published on The Perfect Palette today.

For her first outfit, Erin wore a gorgeous and vibrant magenta dress that featured beautiful movement. Bryson’s dapper suit paired perfectly with her dress. I love how the film and digital images captured their colors so beautifully. I also adore how the color and texture in the outfits resonate with their bubbly personalities!

Champagne Picnic

After Erin and Bryson changed into a more casual and relaxed beach look, a lovely team of vendors greeted them with a gorgeous champagne picnic. Their wedding planner Robyn styled such a beautiful tablescape that featured a fruit and cheese plate to pair with their champagne. The bottle they opened for the picnic read “Pop the bubbly.” Our calligrapher friend Loren also sent them home with a bottle inscribed with their names and wedding date to save for a special occasion. It’s so chic and had me wanting one of my own!

After enjoying their picnic, Bryson and Erin took a stroll on the beach. The fog from the overcast weather blanketed the sandy shores, providing a little moodiness to the images. Erin sported a stunning bridal bouquet by Blue Ladder Botany that looked absolutely exquisite with her dress. There’s just something so romantic about flowers on the beach. The combination would make any bride yearn for an engagement bouquet of her own.
