Carlsbad Beach Engagement Photos of Mari and Jose by Holly Ireland Photography!
Wow what a fun shoot! I had a blast getting to know this cute couple! I think I have an extra soft spot because Mari is a dancer. I think all dancers share a special bond even if they are meeting for the first time!
They had a great idea of starting at Solterra Winery and Kitchen. It was so perfectly romantic and they were able to have a glass of wine to make the shoot a bit more fun! The Solterra staff were just so awesome and let us shoot all around the barrel room and front area. After they sipped their last sip of wine, we headed to South Ponto Beach. Wow was it a chilly and windy night but they were such troopers. Especially Mari in her little dress. I felt so bad for them being so cold but they were determined and I am so glad they were. It was one of those pretty California sunsets that made it all better! Although we did run back and all put our seat warmers on in the car after!
Here are a few from the shoot.
