Featured Engagement Shoot: An Urban Outing with High School Sweethearts

By True Photography, May 15, 2013 Engagements

Nicole and Alan are high school sweethearts, and are originally from Los Angeles. Nicole is a news reporter at NBC, and Alan owns a restaurant called Las Hadas Bar and Grill in the Gaslamp. Not to mention, these two are pretty darn good looking! To capture their life in the city, we headed to downtown San Diego, which seemed like the perfect spot for this urban engagement shoot.

We started off the shoot in East Village, and from there, walked through the gates of PETCO Park. The red brick of the old Western Metals Supply Co. building provided a quintessentially urban backdrop, as did the modern architecture of the stadium. Later, as the sun set, we ventured across the iconic pedestrian bridge that crosses over Harbor Drive.

Nicole and Alan were a pleasure to work with, and we are excited to capture their wedding day this coming September!

Featured Engagement Shoot: Hangin’ Around an Aircraft Hangar with Mary and Matthew

By True Photography, March 13, 2013 Engagements

When we incorporate an element of a couple’s lifestyle into their engagement shoot, we really get to know them before their wedding day. Our engagement shoots often involve capturing a favorite shared hobby, or photographing something significant to the couple’s story. These shoots lead to very special and unique photo opportunities!

When we met up with Mary and Matthew, they thought it would be fun to involve Matthew’s career as an airline pilot in their engagement shoot. What a cool concept! So we met up with this lively pair at a hangar in North County. We had a blast photographing the two of them on and around the planes, and inside the cockpit.

Later, we wrapped up the shoot with a bike ride down to Swami’s beach in Encinitas, which is where Matthew proposed to Mary just a few months ago. We look forward to photographing this pilot, and his soon-to-be co-pilot, at their La Costa Resort wedding this October!

Featured Engagement Shoot: Ganisha and Aman in Solana Beach, California

By True Photography, February 27, 2013 Engagements

Recently, we photographed Ganisha and Aman, who wanted to embrace their Indian culture throughout their engagement shoot. Although we are accustomed to the traditions of Indian weddings, we are always enthralled by the rich, vibrant colors. So applying these same colors to this engagement shoot was a lot of fun! During the shoot, Ganisha and Aman showcased their outgoing personalities, soaked up the sun, and displayed their love as a couple!

To start the session, Ganisha wore a stylish embroidered Indian dress, which was full of bold colors and gold accents. We began about a block away from our studio, which was previously located on Cedros Avenue, in the Design District of Solana Beach. Cedros is a street with artistic ambiance, and it is full of colorful walls, unique gardens and eclectic boutiques. It is a very visual location, and has lots of striking backdrops! As the sun set, we took a stroll down to the ocean for a few playful and romantic shots.

Below, you will see a few of our favorite photos that we captured during the shoot. Also, to see more Indian wedding cultures and traditions, be sure to check out our main site for recent Indian weddings that we’ve photographed!
