Mission Trails Regional Park

Mission Trails is a 7,200-acre open space preserve located right in San Diego, an urban park packed with details and interesting features like Lake Murray and the historical old Mission Dam. With so many options for beautiful backdrops and scenery, it’s an excellent choice for San Diego engagement photography. 

At Mission Trails you can relax in natural California beauty full of color and texture, from tumbled rocks to the smooth green leaves and blooming wildflowers. Only 12 miles northeast of downtown San Diego, the park encompasses five different peaks, which provide a lovely rolling backdrop for your photos. Explore in the tall grasses and the rustic setting of these rugged trails, taking in the details of wooden fences, wild blossoms, and different grasses and bushes. 

The subdued hues of the California wilderness will provide the perfect canvas for your session and allow you to discover many tender moments between the two of you. The serene backdrop only gets more beautiful as you keep looking — come at sunset for a wonderful display of colors that shine on the mountains and turn everything just a shade more colorful. 

Its simplicity, elegance, and convenience make Mission Trails an ideal spot for timeless engagement photography.
