San Diego Engagement Photography

Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding! My name is Julio Fonyat, and I have been a wedding and engagement photographer in San Diego and surrounding areas for almost 20 years. I believe a couple's engagement is one of the most important times in their lives, and something worth celebrating. Creating stunning engagement session images is one of my specialties, and I work closely with my clients to bring their vision to life.

During engagement sessions, I look for the organic interaction between two people to tell their love story.

Why do engagement photography sessions matter

San Diego engagement photography sessions are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and with me, your photographer! In these sessions, we can capture your uncensored personalities and the unique love you share for one another. This photography session is not just a celebration of this special time in your lives but also the chance to document you as a couple in a relaxed, lighthearted photo session.

Photographs from the session are frequently displayed at weddings and used for save-the-date cards. Also, exploring different angles and locations will help achieve the best result on your wedding day.

Exploring San Diego's best engagement session locations

San Diego County offers many breathtaking locations for engagement sessions. From stunning beaches to rustic parks, I will help you find the best location for your engagement session.

A Customized experience for you

Each couple is unique, and so should their engagement session. I aim to create a tailored experience to reflect your unique personality. Since we have full control of engagement sessions, the options are limitless, and we can bring any vision you have to life.

Experience and Professionalism

Being a San Diego photographer for almost 20 years allows me to guide my clients toward their vision and deliver the best result. I will capture candid moments, and when necessary, I'll guide you through poses. Whether you're looking for a simple session or a full-day adventure, I would love to tell your love story.

What You Get

After your engagement session, I will digitally develop your photos to ensure they look their best. You'll receive an online, private gallery where you can view your photos and download the high-resolution version to your computer.

You may order prints directly from this gallery, but if you prefer, you can print them in your favorite lab.

This process not only makes the delivery of the images easier and effortless but also allows you to share your photos with your loved ones.

I’ve created a quick guide to help my clients make the best of their San Diego engagement photography session. Check it out below and feel free to email: fonyat@fonyatweddings.com, or call: (858) 688-2299 if you have any questions about Engagement Sessions.
