Presidio Park Engagement | Old Town San Diego

Presidio Park Engagement | Old Town San Diego

Presidio Park Engagement session with Aline and Roy | The Presidio is nestled above Old Town San Diego. It’s a small park thats extremely well kept, with lush landscaping and the beautiful Junipero Serra Museum being the central point. Whilst you can see and often hear the freeways very close by, this is a place that is somewhat out of place within the modern San Diego thats growing around it. It’s a great escape from the busy town, it’s much less visited by tourist compared to Old Town which is just down the hill. I love it, you can’t beat laying out on the grass on a warm summers day. I recommended the place to Aline and Roy who live and work up in LA. They wanted nature, beautiful light and lush surroundings and since they travelled from LA for the shoot this spot would be much less driving than my usual nature spots in the Countryside. The Presidio Park is a small slice of nature in the middle of the city and it’s just perfect for a engagement shoot.

The Presidio Park turned out to be just right for Aline and Roy, Aline dress in a stone cold fox, so full on nature might have looked slightly out of place for her. The Junipero Serra museum lets you know that you are not fully into the wild and worked well here for Aline and Roy’s style.

The timing of the shoot is always key for me as I just love working with the sun to capture soft light flare. The type of light that softens and warms an image rather than the overly contrasting feel of midday sun, much less sweating also. The sun was perfect on this day, beaming through the tree of my scouted areas, it worked out just as I’d hoped it would. I hope you enjoy looking at these Presidio Park Engagement Images, and I hope you contact me regarding yours!
