Wossene & Daniel's engagement photo session...

I've met Wossene and Daniel few months ago for our wedding consultation. We've met @Lestats coffee shop on Park Av., San Diego. I felt at ease with them from the first minute and I was very happy to hear, that they chose me as their wedding photographer. Along the planning for the wedding, we also decided to take some fun engagement pictures, which took place last evening @Harbor Island, San Diego. I haven't seen many engagement session there, but since I had enough time to explore the place, I've found so many cool spots. And I was excited, waiting for the couple to come and join me on a big tree.

They were super excited, brought bunch of props (last minute decision). And I was trying to create some story with it.

Especially the very nice and warm blanket from Ethiopia (that's where Wossene and her family came from), which totally came handy, since the sun disappeared behind the marine layer and we were left out on windy and overcast Harbor Island.

What a fun background of the Downtown San Diego for the engagement pictures.

The bride to be had two different outfits as well as the groom to be. Their outfits were matching so well together... and with the sing Live, Laugh, Love too.
Having fun running around...

And bring in the props from the bride's bridal shower... 

After the sunset, it was time for the lights from buildings, lamps and sparkles to play with.

I love, how creative this couple is. Wossene said that she had never been comfortable to have her pictures taken, but she was such a pro!!  
Happy 4th of July everyone and I look forward to capture their love on their wedding day this coming August 2015.
