Cozy San Diego Beach Day

Destination Wedding at Acre Resort

When Candace invited me to join her and Sean on a birthday adventure in San Diego in the middle of December, I didn’t need a second to think. It was an immediate and resounding ‘YES’ at the thought of a cozy beach day upon us! Little did I know that this trip would turn into an unforgettable beachside photoshoot, brimming with spontaneity and love.

San Diego in December may not scream “beach weather” for most folks, but for this trio of adventurers, it was the perfect canvas for a magical photoshoot. Cold and rainy days were our constant companions, but as fate would have it, those very conditions set the stage for an unexpectedly enchanting experience.

As the sun began its descent towards the horizon, we ventured out to the beach right in front of our rental. And then, just like a twist in a romantic movie, the rain began to fall. But did that deter these two? Not a chance! They embraced the chilly drops and ventured out onto the sandy shore, playing, dancing, and goofing around like carefree kids transported back to a simpler time.

Naturally, the ocean waves couldn’t resist joining in on the fun. Keeping Candace and Sean from getting splashed was no easy feat, and before long, their jeans were drenched. But here’s where the magic happened – they decided to strip down to their swimsuits, and the photoshoot went from fantastic to downright extraordinary.

As you look at these photos, you might not believe that these two were shivering from the cold. Yet, their love was their source of warmth. They leaned into each other, splashed in the waves, ran along the shore, danced under the gray skies, and laughed like there was no tomorrow.

It’s moments like these that remind us that life’s best adventures often occur when we least expect them. Who knew that a cold and rainy day would turn into such a heartwarming and memorable experience? Candace, Sean, and I certainly did.

So, let this be a lesson – never let a weather forecast deter you from seizing the day and creating extraordinary memories. Sometimes, it’s the elements themselves that add that extra dash of magic to your story. If you’re ready to embrace the unexpected and create unforgettable moments, get in touch with me. Whether it’s in San Diego or anywhere else in the world, I’m here to capture your unique story, rain or shine!
