Encinitas Couples Photographer
For anniversaries, date nights, or just because. In Encinitas, that means spots like Swami's / Self-Realization Fellowship bluffs and Moonlight Beach.
You don't need a wedding or an engagement to get good photos of the two of you. Couples sessions are for anniversaries, a season you want to remember, or simply because it's been too long since there was a nice photo of you together.
Encinitas is the laid-back heart of the North County coast — surf breaks, flower-lined bluffs, and the meditation gardens above Swami's. It has a softer, more bohemian feel than the resort towns, which suits couples who want something a little less formal.
Local know-how: Bluff parking along Coast Highway 101 is limited on weekends. The Botanic Garden requires a photography reservation for sessions, which I'll arrange.
