Chris + Kelly | Engagement session at Marian Bear Park after the rains

El Nino gave Southern California a beating for the last few days. Once the skies cleared we were able to get together with Chris and Kelly to hold their engagement session at Marian Bear Park. We will be their wedding photographers and videographers for their wedding in early February. We are almost there!

Marian Bear Park looked a little different than usual with puddles all over and a stream of water that was blocking some paths. Trees were knocked over, but it still left some amazing photos to be taken.

Check out some of the photos that we captured of this amazing couple.

With some of the puddles around, we just decided to use them in our favor and get a few reflection photos. It barely rains in San Diego, but when it does, we might as well use it to our advantage.

With some of the trees on the ground, it made for a good spot to sit down and rest.

We loved working with Chris and Kelly and can't wait for their big day. They will be getting married in a couple of weeks in Pacific Beach and we cannot wait to see the amazing photos that we will capture from their day.

Jim + Isa | Engagement photography at Solana Beach during the rain

  Last week was full of crazy rain and a few tornado alerts were popping up across San Diego. As we were driving out to this engagement session, we knew that the rain could be a huge problem, but we were going to have the session anyway. We planned on keeping it indoors.

We started out at a small winery in Solana Beach off of Cedros and we started our session in the little parking area that was covered. We liked the purple bricks and used it to start our session to stay dry.

The winery we held the session at was small, but we found some great moments in there despite the tight area. Jim and Isa were amazing and had a glass of wine and enjoyed their time with each other.

Our first attempt to shoot outside after the winery had a lot of rain pouring down and we had to hurry to get some cover. We used that little moment to get a few sweet moments.

As the rain let up, we noticed that we could have an awesome sunset and we were just hoping that the rain would hold off long enough to get some awesome photos.

The rain held off and the sunset was incredible.

We even were able  to get down to the beach to take some photos. Since it was raining out, the beach was all ours. Be Still Photog San Diego Wedding Photographer_0043
