Lizz & Joey’s Downtown San Diego Engagement Session – Part II

September 3, 2009

Part II of Lizz & Joey’s engagement session brought us to the rooftop bar of Hotel Indigo in downtown San Diego. This hotel is so cute… great interior and a perfect view of Petco Park from the rooftop lounge which is pretty sweet. We had an awesome time shooting up there with some off-camera lighting. (Thanks to Lizz’s friend Christine for holding the flash beautifully!)

I love shooting in natural, beautiful daylight… but I also LOVE experimenting with off-camera lighting. I absolutely loved shooting at night in this amazing urban, chic setting. I am so thankful to Lizz and Joey for being so willing to experiment with me! Love you guys!

Here are my favorite images from the hotel…

We started in the lobby in this really cool foyer area. Love this one!

Then we headed up to the rooftop. This we captured while waiting for the elevator.

Favorite #1! Lizz looks amazingly fierce and there’s just a slight bit of movement that I really like.

Then we sat down around the fire pits they have up there and I just loved this warm light coming up from the fire. Favorite #2!!

This one needs a little introduction. I realize it totally doesn’t fit and is a vast departure from what I usually do…. but I snapped this shot as we were crossing the street after the rooftop session and I had a lot of fun playing with some different color treatments. It’s healthy to experiment with wild and crazy things sometimes… and it keeps me really excited about the work I do.
