If you are familiar with my work at all, you know that I’m a big fan of Mt. Laguna, so this Mt. Laguna engagement session was right up my alley. Siana and Rainier (coolest names ever, by the way) wanted their engagement photos to feel natural and relaxed, so this outdoor engagement session location was an absolutely perfect choice for them. 

I knew immediately the pair were so in love with each other and would be so much fun to work with, and these photos prove that I was so right. We started off the session with the couple’s fancy outfits (and a quick shot of sake to loosen up & celebrate!) The sun had just barely started to set, so the lighting was dreamy as ever. They danced and laughed and cuddled up next to each other in the tall grass. It was perfect.

The couple then changed into their more casual outfits. And I know I’ve mentioned this before, but please consider bringing two outfits to your engagement session! It’s a great little trick to add variety to your engagement pictures. After the outfit change, we took a little stroll across the location and ended up coming across some grazing cows, so of course we had to take full advantage! 

I love love love how these engagement photos came out, and I hope they inspire you in some way as you scroll through!

This gorgeous pair will have their San Diego wedding at the Fruit Craft wedding venue next year, and I’m so looking forward to that. Congrats on the engagement and a beautiful start to this chapter in your lives, Siana and Rainier!
