Overlooking Del Mar's beautiful landscape and ocean, Mayra + Dylan dined on cupcakes and sipped champagne, in celebration of their one-year marriage anniversary.

Mayra reached out to me well over a year before this shoot took place knowing she wanted to have photos taken of her and her boo to commemorate their one year of being married! I was beyond stoked, because if you hadn't already guessed it (or seen splattered all over my page), couple's shoots are my absolute fave!! Dylan, her boo, or as I so embarrassingly called Chad upon meeting (sorry Dylan!), is in the military. Military life in general is no joke or walk in the part, and although many might dispute my opinion, being a military wife is hard-core! I did the whole military girlfriend and wife lifestyle for years, and it was in one word: hard. Which is why I appreciate relationships like Mayra and Dylan's so much, because despite the crazy work schedules, the long deployments, and the chaotic lifestyle, they make it work!

Now let's get to into this sugar and booze filled shoot! Del Mar North Beach is more so known for being a dog beach. There are literally TONS of dogs running around, splashing in and out of the water, coming up to you to pet them; it's an absolute dream!! Not only that, but the beach is amazing! There's a little stairway towards the front that leads you up onto a higher trail, where we decided to set up camp, or picnic in this case.They brought the most delicious cupcakes from Sprinkles (aka my new fave cupcake shop) and toasted alongside with them with a couple glasses of champagne.
