Featured Engagement Shoot at Lake Hodges | Stacey & Aaron

By, September 12, 2013

Lake Hodges, nestled just south of Escondido, is a serene and beautiful location. So we were more than happy to head there with Stacey and Aaron for their engagement shoot! For those seeking pictures in nature, Lake Hodges is filled with fantastic photo opportunities. It’s also a great place for a princess to flee from crowds – yes, Stacey plays the role of Cinderella at Disneyland!

Just before sunset, we met up with Stacey and Aaron and their dog Duke (aka their “son”), and took a short stroll to the lake. We loved Stacey’s vibrant red dress, and couldn’t resist capturing a series of photos in the tall grass.

Later, with the July heat beating upon us, we decided to cool off and capture some playful and romantic moments in the water. The fun concluded at a lakeside champagne picnic, with a charming wooden swing nearby. Duke even took the spotlight by announcing Stacey & Aaron’s winter wedding date!

We had a wonderful time photographing this couple, and are excited to see them at the Grand Tradition‘s picturesque Beverly Mansion this December!

Old Hollywood Glam Wedding with Hair and Makeup by Swell Beauty

By, May 17, 2012

When I started this business, I really wanted my brides to stand out, and look exceptional! Since my first day in business, I have made it a point to take part in all aspects of the bride’s hair and makeup needs, right down to making sure that all my client’s hair and skin are prepared for the engagement shoot, bridal trial run and big day. I work hard to differentiate my company by paying attention to the small details, and providing quick customer service!

My stylists and I apply the techniques and skills we have learned as professionals to make our brides look and feel beautiful on their special day. As an on-location hair and makeup company, we recently worked with Allyson at her wedding at the US Grant in downtown San Diego. Allyson and Shay were going for the Hollywood glam look, with a vintage flair and bold colors. Allyson chose the vibrant colors of a peacock bird to incorporate into her overall look.

We tied the whole look together with a finger wave hairdo and glamorous makeup, paired with bold red lips!

Our bride’s hair was so much fun to do. I  loved working with her birdcage and feather jeweled hair piece. It was the perfect touch to her overall vintage inspired look.

I love how Allyson’s hair and makeup look in this picture. It shows her distinctive finger wave and bold red lips. It all came together on the big day, and her look turned out gorgeous!

Sporty couple takes the field for Petco Park engagement shoot

By, July 26, 2011

For Jamie and Ben’s engagement shoot, we headed down to Petco Park in downtown San Diego. Since we had access to the field, we were able to photograph them being silly in the bullpen, sitting alone in the stands, holding hands in the dugout, and stepping up to bat at home plate! We also found a few brightly colored and textured walls, which provided great backgrounds for their photos.

This incredibly photogenic couple is getting married on May 27, 2012 in San Diego. They even wore to customized Padres shirts during the shoot so we could take a picture to be included in their Save the Dates. Check out the results below, and let us know what you think!
