One of the great things about my job is you get to meet and make all sorts of new friends wherever you go! I met Anna last fall, when she and her friends came out with us for a fall Friends Session. People who know Anna will tell you that from the moment you meet her, two things are abundantly clear:

First, this girl is a gem. Kind, confident and charming, yet completely down to earth, she’s a one-of-a-kind!

Second, she’s crazy about Jake. She beams when she talks about him in a way you don’t come across very often!

Above: a shot from our Friend Session with Anna and her friends last fall!

I thought to myself a year ago, if I ever have the opportunity to meet Jake and capture he and Anna’s beautiful romance on camera, I can’t pass it up!

That opportunity came this week!

I am wrapping up this amazing year with a series of shoots in beautiful San Diego, California, and had the honor of spending my first evening with Jake and Anna down at the breathtaking sunset cliffs. Here’s a few of my favorite images from the evening!
