After dating long-distance for three years, Madeline and John felt like the airport was their second home. So when discussing engagement shoot ideas, there was one place that came to mind above all others – the airport! To recreate the long-distance travel experience, we took a trip down to the San Diego International Airport, and photographed this fun commuter couple.

Since a friend of the couple charters private planes at the airport, we were granted access to the tarmac to do our thing, which made for cool photos! The colorful luggage was a great enhancement to the shoot, and the couple even brought along a customized luggage tag embossed with their wedding date. Move over, Christina Ricci and the cast of ABC’s Pan Am. This high flying couple has a vintage flair that is all their own. We hope you enjoy the photos below!
