Alleina & Sam's engagement pictures - Valentine's day 2015

Alleina found me on SnapKnot website, where is listed my wedding website. She was super sweet through her emails and I was really looking forward to meet her and her fiancee in person. It was even more special, because she lives in Canada and came to San Diego visit her fiancee and also take some nice pictures of them.
We've decided to take pictures on the Valentine's day (sorry hubby for spending time with my clients on that day). They've never taken their pictures with professional before, but they were so well prepared. Brought a lot of props and fun attitude.
First of all, we started at the airport. Since they have long distance relationship, they wanted to show it in the pictures. So when we took some pictures at the baggage claim area, we moved to the escalators to take some pictures there and go out. But over there was some police office that spotted us and asked me, if I have permission to take pictures there. Obviously, I've never even heard about that, he started to write something into his notepad and I was wondering, if he is trying to write me a ticket. At the end, he told me that this is just a warning and that we have to leave.. Well.. We've already got the pictures that we wanted, so it didn't bothered me. I just don't understand, that you have to pay someone and ask for permission.. since with all the iPod's, iPad's and android's cameras nowdays.. people can take pictures, but if you'd get paid for it, you have to pay someone as well...

We've decided to go to the Harbor Island instead (since we've captured the pictures @San Diego airport)

, where is a nice view of the downtown.

Alleina's cousin made them those beautiful letters from map. What a cute little present for those wonderful people.
From the Harbor Island, we went straight to the Balboa Park, which is very significant place of San Diego as well, plus it was getting darker and I knew, that the magic hour will be perfect to finish our engagement session with all the lights and less people around.

I had so much fun with Alleina and Sam, I believe that they did have fun too, since they book me for their wedding after our engagement photo session and I can't wait to capture their love on their wedding day next year 2016.
