Spending a warm San Diego evening frolicking around an empty beach with one of the sweetest couples I have ever met, is my idea of a perfect photo session. I met up with Jaime and Patrick at Encinitas’s Moonlight Beach for their engagement session on Memorial Day weekend. It was a slightly overcast day, with just enough sunlight peeking through the clouds every now and then to give a slight golden hue to the photos. The combination of their blue and neutral outfits fit so perfectly with the backdrop, and I am in love with the color palette from this session and how beautifully the film picked up the tones!

I enjoyed with time is Jaime and Patrick so much, and I cannot wait for their 2022 Botanica wedding. Enjoy some film and digital highlights from this Moonlight Beach engagement session!
