“The idea behind our engagement photoshoot was to retrace the events of our first date two years ago,” writes Nico of his engagement session with Mark. “We had dinner at Piatti La Jolla [in La Jolla, California], decided to go for a stroll along La Jolla Shores beach, and then Mark offered me a ride back to my car in his red convertible.”
“We thought it would be fun to do an engagement photoshoot that honored and rekindled those first few magical moments we shared together on our first date. Thereโs also a trail down Blackโs Beach from nearby Torrey Pines Gliderport that Mark and I love to hike, and it has a magnificent view of the sunset, so we thought we would end our photoshoot there.”
