Ok so pretty much the same disclaimer has to go with this post as the last one…. be prepared for lots of images, lots of all caps and exclamations, and gratuitous numbers of smiley faces
Here comes the engagement session that I shot last weekend for my fantabulous little sister Allison and her fiance Mark! I cannot possibly overstate how much my sister means to me, she is one of my absolute bestest of friends, she knows all of my secrets, and well, I’ve just known her all her life so you can’t get much closer than that
I was so excited to find out that she was getting married (I think I may have scared the other diners in the restaurant where I got the phone call since I was shrieking so much) and I couldn’t be happier that Mark is the lucky guy! We took their engagement photos on a fabulous San Diego afternoon in Balboa Park and had a blast (as long as we stayed in the shade, because man oh man was it hot out!) Hold on to your seats because this is about to be a super long photo post with a super good lookin’ couple
Are you ready?
Balboa park is so stinkin’ scenic aint it? I LOVE San Diego ![]()

I like to call this one the super hero shot, it’s totally going on the poster for any future action movies they happen to star in
I told you these two were good looking… man I can’t wait to see their kids
(just kidding guys, you can wait at least a month or two after the wedding, haha!)
I’m not sure why but this is one of my favorites… I think I like the color of blue with the awesome red dress. If you’re wondering what to wear in an engagement session and you look good in red, it almost always looks fabulous in photographs!
And one last snap on the way back out to the car…. so cute!
Allison and Mark thanks so much for letting me drag you all around the park in the super hot afternoon. I love you guys and I CANNOT WAIT for your wedding (which by the way will be photographed by the super talented Mindy Sonshine and her husband Mike, I can’t wait to see the photos
