1940’s Inspired Engagement | Emily and Rafael

By True Photography, November 28, 2017 Engagements

Emily and Rafael are originally from San Diego, but currently live in North Carolina. Since Rafael is a commercial pilot, the couple flew to San Diego for a special engagement session. The shoot was held in Air Group One’s Hangar and WWII Museum in El Cajon, CA.

Emily and Rafael’s 1940’s attire, hair, and makeup made the photos feel like a step back in time. Also, the suitcases (pictured below) were gifted to Emily’s grandmother on her own wedding day… 60 years ago! Check out the amazing photos from this fun and glamorous engagement photo shoot :)

Come Fly With Me | Photo of the Week

By True Photography, July 17, 2017 Photo of the Week

This Photo of the Week is a throwback to the 1940s. While arranging their engagement shoot at Gillespie Air Field, Emily and Rafael received permission from the nice people at Air Group One to take photos with this vintage aircraft. They decided to play up the theme with retro clothing, hair and make-up. The resulting photo is something to flip your wig over :)

Featured Engagement Shoot: Hangin’ Around an Aircraft Hangar with Mary and Matthew

By True Photography, March 13, 2013 Engagements

When we incorporate an element of a couple’s lifestyle into their engagement shoot, we really get to know them before their wedding day. Our engagement shoots often involve capturing a favorite shared hobby, or photographing something significant to the couple’s story. These shoots lead to very special and unique photo opportunities!

When we met up with Mary and Matthew, they thought it would be fun to involve Matthew’s career as an airline pilot in their engagement shoot. What a cool concept! So we met up with this lively pair at a hangar in North County. We had a blast photographing the two of them on and around the planes, and inside the cockpit.

Later, we wrapped up the shoot with a bike ride down to Swami’s beach in Encinitas, which is where Matthew proposed to Mary just a few months ago. We look forward to photographing this pilot, and his soon-to-be co-pilot, at their La Costa Resort wedding this October!
