It’s been a while since I’ve made a blog post (my bad). It’s also been a while since I’ve shot an engagement session at Sunset Cliffs in beautiful San Diego, CA. Once I heard that Francesca & John wanted to have their engagement session here, I knew it was going to be a great one! One, because Sunset Cliffs is STUNNING rain or shine and two, because Francesca and John are one of the sweetest/coolest/laid back/(insert more rad adjectives here) couples everrr! They both have a such a cool style and just moved all the way from New York (so they’re obviously like 10,000 times cooler than me already…let’s be real) and are having their wedding this August at the same ranch that John’s Parents got married at 40 years ago! How stinkin’ cool is that?! So stoked to be photographing it!

So this day was particularly overcast which I used to hate, but I’ve learned to embrace the clouds and the tones/mood they naturally bring to photos and absolutely love shooting in overcast weather now. We were also blessed with a pretty low tide and got to explore some of the rocks below. Those are some of my favorite images from this set so be sure to scroll all the way through!

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Justin

I've always been drawn to all things creative, but didn't pick up a camera until my senior year in high school to document a trip my friends and I were taking to San Francisco.  I had no idea how to correctly work my camera, but instantly fell in love with the concept of capturing moments in an artistic way.  What started out as a passion for photography quickly turned into a passion for people and the love they share.  After more than a decade photographing weddings throughout California and the West Coast, I've learned that the photographs couples treasure most aren't always the ones we plan. They're the fleeting expressions, movement, embraces and unexpected moments in between.

My approach balances those honest moments with thoughtful editorial portraiture, creating a collection that feels elevated, effortless and entirely your own.
