Two of my really good friends got engaged. We spent one evening at La Jolla Shores, from bright afternoon light to the last glow after sunset.

The story

Rose and Brady are two of my really good friends. They got engaged and asked me to take their engagement photos, which meant a lot to me.

The approach

We met at La Jolla Shores in the afternoon and stayed until the sun was gone. I shot on 35mm film and digital and let the light change around them.

Afternoon

Bright light on the cliffs

After sunset

Dark clouds and the last glow

The result

A full engagement set on film and digital, from the first light on the cliffs to the last glow over the water.
