When most couples think about their honeymoon, they imagine travel, beaches, and slowing down after the whirlwind of a wedding… but have you ever thought about booking a honeymoon photo session?
That’s exactly what Hope + Josh did — and the result was pure cinematic magic at Scripps Pier in La Jolla, San Diego. They wanted to extend the magic of their wedding day to their honeymoon. Weddings can be incredibly chaotic, and sometimes taking time during the wedding day itself to take photos can feel incredibly impossible. You should be living in the moment during your wedding day, which is why Honeymoon Photos can give you just that opportunity.
Why Book a Honeymoon Photo Session?
Your honeymoon is one of the only times in your life where you can truly exhale. The planning, the parties, the stress — it’s all behind you. You’re just two people in love, starting a new chapter. That deserves to be documented.
Unlike wedding photos (which are usually filled with guests, timelines, and a little chaos), honeymoon sessions feel relaxed and intimate. You get the space to be yourselves — playful, romantic, barefoot in the sand — and create images that reflect the just married glow without the stress of the wedding day.
Scripps Pier: A Dreamy San Diego Backdrop
San Diego is one of the most romantic cities for honeymooners. From coastal sunsets to hidden cliffs, there’s no shortage of cinematic backdrops. For Hope + Josh, we chose Scripps Pier in La Jolla — and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
The pier itself offers dreamy lines and architecture, while the beach brings those wide-open skies, ocean waves, and golden light. It’s the best of both worlds: architectural drama and beach romance.
Their Session: Golden Hour Glow
Hope + Josh arrived ready to sink into the moment — and that’s exactly what we did. They walked hand-in-hand along the shoreline, danced by the waves, and let the ocean spray catch the light. The pier gave us those iconic cinematic frames, and the sunset gave us all the magic.
Every image tells their story — not just as newlyweds, but as best friends in love, celebrating their first adventure together.
