Molly and Matt live in a terribly cold and extremely windy city named Chicago, but were lucky enough to be in sunny San Diego for the record breaking hottest Thanksgiving southern California has yet to see! (OK, I am a bit biased on San Diego vs. Chicago of course, since I live here. But Chicago is a beautiful city too!). But we DID luck out with beautiful weather for their engagement shoot, and I’m sure they were glad to be here in San Diego missing the polar vortex hitting the Mid-west. When we discussed options for locations, they knew they wanted to end at a beach for sunset. Matt has family in San Diego, so he knows it well and has taken Molly to some of our gorgeous beaches before, including Windansea Beach. The story goes, that one day while visiting this beach, Molly was expecting Matt to propose there…but he didn’t! Don’t worry- he DID propose on a beach in Thailand, so everything worked out perfectly, and they now have their engagement photos at Windansea Beach instead.
We started off the day at the gorgeous Herringbone restaurant in La Jolla, (another place Matt has taken Molly too). The fun and playful decor of the restaurant matches perfectly with these two bubbly characters. They seriously could not stop giggling their entire time with me. Molly and Matt are extremely happy together and I can not wait for all the fun we are going to have at their wedding next fall! Congrats, you two!
**A special Thank You to everyone at Herringbone who let us come in early before the dinner crowd hit to take our photos!
