A San Diego Elopement - Alexa & Samuél

For these classical lovers, we were able to capture the best landscapes to map out a beautiful journey from the city to the sea.

Beginning at the library, reminiscent of a meet-cute at Grad school in the UK.

Playing in the light

Getting cozy

Playing in plaids and pinks

Sunsets and shadow play bring out the best in little light.

I've always had a need for a rapid, candid style of shooting. It's not for every day or every situation but when it works, it's magic. Since candids only capture the little moments when the camera is not the focus, getting a perfect shot has proven to be mainly a matter of luck.

But how lucky was I to find this much magic, in just one evening?
