Anniversary Session at Torrey Pines

Anniversary Session at TOrrey Pines

The Gliderport at Torrey Pines is by farrrrr one of my favorite places to shoot engagement, couples, or portrait sessions in San Diego. I had such a blast shooting some golden hour anniversary photos for Tessa and Kevin at the Gliderport! This shoot was a creative high for me during quarantine - and it was so much fun to try some new stuff out that I’ve learned since I’ve been hunkered down at home! I love shooting here because I feel like it can look like a completely different place depending on time of year, lighting, time of day, or even if I just choose to go down a different path from one shoot to the next. There’s so much stunning variety here and this sunset session is a perfect example of that. The cliffs, grassy hills, ocean views, and trails make for such an incredible backdrop. Not to mention you can also take a trail down to Blacks Beach for even MORE variety, but we stayed up on the cliffs for this shoot and still had so much to work with. I ended up doing a few shoots in a row here after this session, and each one looks completely different. I rarely shoot at locations where I feel overwhelmed by my options (in a good way!), and this is one of them. When I’m shooting sessions, I also highly prioritize finding a place where the couple can be mostly private-ish, because I feel like people are so much more comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera if there aren’t people around. The Gliderport is great for that too, I always know I can find a good spot to shoot where people aren’t crowding around. This is one of my favorite shoots to date and I feel like I can just keep swooning over these forever. Eeeeeee!
