Carlsbad Beach Engagement Photography, Charla + Danny

I am so excited to photograph Charla and Danny’s wedding at L’Auberge Del Mar this year! We had a chance to schedule and photograph their beach engagement session last week and I am in love with the photos we got. They are the sweetest couple and I loved working with these two! Doing an engagement session is amazing because you really get to know your photographer and it gives you a chance to get a little practice and understanding of how the photography will work on your wedding day. It was practically impossible to edit this session and I definitely gave a couple way too many photos, but there was no way I could cut out some of the amazing images we got. It’s true that every photographer has a different philosophy on how many images to give, but I would always rather give more than less. I think everyone has a very specific idea about the way they like to see themselves in photographs, and I’d like to leave that up to my clients so they can choose their absolute favorites. Here are a few of my own favorites!

What matters most in a portrait session isn’t perfect outfits or perfect behavior—it’s capturing the love your family shares. That’s what you’ll remember years from now. If that resonates with you, reach out—I’d love to work with you.
