Aren’t we so lucky to have such beauty in San Diego. Not only are there the sandy beaches everywhere you look but we are also graced with mountains that you can see for days as well as the romantic fields. Whether you are a local native or you are coming from out of town, we have any look that you and your fiance are going for. Trust me, you will fall in love. If you are planning to photograph your engagement session in sunny San Diego, I have collected all of my favorite gems for you here in one easy spot. Below are some of the best San Diego engagement photo locations!

TORREY PINES STATE BEACH
Starting off with what we are known for, our beaches. Torrey Pines State Beach is amazing because its not only full of that soft sand, but if you turn the corner, there are amazing paths full of trees, rocks and gorgeous beach views.

Here is a beaut from one of the paths at Torrey Pines State Beach.

THOMAS F. RILEY WILDERNESS PARK
Ok ok, this one is just outside of San Diego, in southern Orange County, but I had to include it because its one of my favorites of all time. The enormous park full of rolling hills makes for the most romantic engagement photos.

SUNSET CLIFFS
If you haven’t been to Sunset Cliffs, you have to get up and go there now! Hehe, but really this is the most breathtaking landscape. What can get better than photos with enormous cliffs by the beach and the most breathtaking sunsets (hence the name)?!

LAKE HODGES
This is one of my personal secret gems. It is so sweet and quaint and really captures those whimiscal photos with the huge trees that surround the area. This location never disappoints every single time I shoot there.

All of these locations provide for such a gorgeous backdrop to you and your fiance’s engagement photos! They are also all very easy locations to get to and helps to make for an engagement session that is super smooth. These are some of the best San Diego engagement photo locations and all of our clients had a great time during their session.
