Amber and Scotty’s Gelato 101 Engagement session perfectly captured the sweet, sunny vibe of coastal California. Located in the heart of Encinitas, just a short drive from downtown San Diego, Gelato 101 is a charming local favorite known for its colorful storefront and relaxed beach-town atmosphere. The streets nearby are full of palm trees, cozy cafes, and ocean breezes that make every corner ideal for engagement photography.
From a photographer’s perspective, this location offers endless opportunities for creativity. The warm natural light, the pops of color from the shop signs, and the nearby beach create a fun mix of urban and coastal backdrops. Our San Diego engagement photographers love how Gelato 101 brings a playful energy to every session. Between the laughter, melting gelato cones, and candid moments, it is the perfect place to capture genuine smiles and connection.
They share a love for sunshine, ice cream dates, and spending time by the water. Their engagement session reflected everything they love most about each other and about life in Southern California.
We started the session at Gelato 101, where the couple shared ice cream, laughed together, and wandered through the charming streets of Encinitas. After capturing those fun and romantic moments, we made our way to the beach just before sunset. There, with the ocean waves and golden light, the shoot took on a more dreamy and intimate feel. Our photographer captured every glance, laugh, and gentle touch, creating a collection of images that feel both timeless and full of warmth. It was easy to see how much fun this couple has together, and that joy shines through in every frame.
