This San Diego vintage car engagement session took place at the Torrey Pines Gliderport, tucked up high on the cliffs overlooking the coast in La Jolla. It’s one of the most scenic locations in the area—with sweeping ocean views, golden hour light, and tons of open space to move around and explore. For this session, the couple brought along a rented vintage car. It was a sky-blue Mercedes convertible from SD Classic Car Rentals, and we got to use it as a fun, stylish prop to celebrate their engagement!

The car added such a playful and cinematic vibe to the session. We got a mix of romantic, windswept photos with the coast in the background and some more energetic images of the couple laughing and hanging out around the car. They had so much fun with it, and it gave the entire session such a unique feel!

As the sun set, we stuck around a little longer and captured some flash photos by the cliffs. Those shots gave the final gallery a fun, slightly vibe-y feel, and some awesome contrast to the softer golden hour light from earlier in the session.

If you’re looking for a way to add something memorable to your own engagement session, incorporating a vintage car is just such a great way to do it. And if you’re still deciding whether to do an engagement session at all, it can be such a helpful way to shake off nerves and feel more at ease with the camera before the wedding day!
