Sandy Toes and Salty Kisses.... San Diego Engagement Photography | Pacific Beach, Crystal Pier, Casual and Fun Engagement | Southern California Engagement and Wedding Photographer | Little Blue Bow Photography | Love

As I drove down to the beach, my windows down and wind swirling through my hair, I saw nothing but blue skies as far as my eye could see.  It was a sunny, Friday afternoon in Pacific Beach and there was no shortage of people enjoying one of San Diego's iconic beach locations, Crystal Pier and the Crystal Pier Hotel.  (The hotel has the most adorable blue and white beach bungalows right on the pier.  What a fun location for people visiting San Diego on vacation, right?)
 
I met up with Shannon and Brad on Friday afternoon and we headed down to the boardwalk with their beach cruisers.  These two are the type of people that you love to know! They are fun, down to earth and really enjoy their time together and spending time with friends.  
They live right near the beach and wanted to incorporate their casual, beach loving lifestyle into their engagement session, so that's exactly what we did!


They spent their engagement session splashing in the waves, riding bikes on the boardwalk and enjoying some sweet moments in the sand at sunset. 
Although the marine layer rolled in right before the sun crossed the horizon, it was a beautiful evening for some beach Lovers :)
  

When I asked them if they could balance and hold hands as they rode down the boardwalk, they said "oh, yah, of course, we do it all the time!"  Haha.. how sweet is that?  I'm super clumsy and I'm sure I would end up on my head! :)

How gorgeous is Shannon's engagement ring?  I love the detail using my 100mm macro lens!  Ring Shots are so fun!

Shannon and Brad, I had so much fun!  I can't wait for your wedding in the Bahamas this October.  I better get working on my base tan!  (And my tolerance for rum, lol)

Are you coming to San Diego for a summer vacation?  Let's schedule a family portrait session to document your fun trip!  San Diego has so many gorgeous locations, from the shimmering sands of La Jolla to the rustic countryside of Julian.
