Rancho Penasquitos – San Diego, CA
I don’t always get to stand back and appreciate what I do in photography. It sometimes gets busy, frantic, and well – the processing time, business upkeep and editing can occupy a lot of my attention… But photography is something that has been an amazing ride from the very beginning. I have been beyond blessed… and this reveals itself in the people I get to work for – I have the most amazing clients!!! Ryan and Stephanie are definitely… amazing.
Stephanie inquired about my wedding photography a little while back and I had never met her before… I often ask where a new client found me or what they enjoyed about my photography and Stephanie’s answers were both profound and enlightening… She’d arrived at my portfolio after navigating through several sites on a google search for a Christian San Diego Wedding Photographer… Ryan and Stephanie were looking for someone very specific… and I’ve been blessed to be chosen by them. They found me without any prior knowledge of my work and no reference from a friend. And… aside from my photos, they ultimately chose me because of the foundation upon which I’ve chosen to build my photography business and share it with others… God’s gifted me with it and I GET TO share it with others and use it as a way to reflect Him no matter where I go or who I shoot for… It was a humbling reminder and gave me a better understanding about why I love doing this so much…
To add to that – Ryan and Stephanie are an amazing couple… you can just sense the pure love that they have for each other… and they want nothing more than to start off their marriage on the right foot… I can’t wait for their Wedding in April! But, first there is the matter of an engagement session! And seriously – this one was awesome. I couldn’t stop picking out one favorite after another! They thought it would be cute to have a little picnic for part of the session… They were right! I hope you enjoy!





Remember our little preview? Crazy cute shot – love it…


This next one is another one of my favorites…

Just kidding – I have another favorite!! Okay, so this next little set – the one on the left has got to be my favorite of the whole session! I love the light, the expressions, everything about it…

Now although Ryan and Stephanie are beginners on the guitar, they have some solid chords down – they’re learnin’.
You gotta love this next one too…

There are so many good little details at the location they chose… I was really excited to shoot there…





Aren’t they a crazy beautiful couple? The handsome Ryan and the gorgeous Stephanie…

Lighting… Again… Amazing…




Ryan and Steph – you are both so amazing and an awesome couple… I hope you both had fun at our photo session! You have both been a huge blessing for me and I’ll be praying that you have a blessed and fruitful future marriage together. See you in April!
