Romantic Notebook Inspired Photos | Pam & Jeremiah | Lake Poway

What girl doesn’t want romantic notebook inspired photos with her loved one? The film, “the Notebook” hands down has some truly romantic scenes that almost any girl  (myself included) would love to re-enact with the man of their dreams.  Well San Diego is well know for its amazing beaches but not its rainy lakes.  Finding a rowboat and an appropriate lake for this couple was a challenge, but who doesn’t love a challenge more than Brett. He made a few calls and as it turns out Lake Poway Park has a small fleet of little rowboats and they were more than happy to let us take one out for a spin.

The day was so nice that we thought to start off Pam and Jeremiah’s shoot with a romantic picnic in the park.  Some large eucalyptus trees provided us with shade and a soft rustling from the breeze.  Pam and Jeremiah were so easy to work with, snuggling onto their picnic blanket, laughing at whispered jokes.  As the sun started creeping down we headed down to the little dock to launch our rowboat.  The hills around Lake Poway created a splendid backdrop, nesteling the little boat and it’s passengers in.  We tossed them a few vintage fishing props we found from a neighbor.  The wooden fishing rod got pam and jeremiah chatting and laughing.  We love what came out of this romantic Notebook inspired photos and we had so much fun working with Pam and Jeremiah.

The amazing Stephanie Rae of Pink Chique did Pam’s hair and make up.

A vintage fishing rod made for the perfect prop.
The point of inspiration is not to re-enact it but to let it push you to create.
