Breezy+ Kousei

Table Rock, Laguna Beach | Engagement

We chose to photograph their engagement session at Table Rock Beach in Laguna. A smaller beach, it’s usually not too crowded, and it provides unique backdrops with the beautiful rock formations and a stunning sunset. Breezy has surfed all of her life, and is now a surf instructor, so the beach was a perfect choice for the couple who feel right at home on the coast.

Megan + Cliff

Enders Island in Stonington, Connecticut

This engagement session was more than a 1-2 hour shoot for us, it was a vacation and a party! Jamie and I decided to travel to Connecticut for his family reunion. Over 80 family members got together for this week long adventure. Jamie’s cousin Megan and her fiance Cliff whose wedding we will be shooting next year were among those in attendance; so shooting their engagement session during our stay worked out perfectly!

Raina + Sonny

Victoria Beach Engagement

We met Raina and Sonny at Victoria Beach in Laguna, on the first day of summer! Victoria Beach can be crowded, but being a Tuesday worked to our advantage! We could not have asked for more perfect California weather, even the tide was exactly where we wanted it. The sky stayed a beautiful blue until it turned into a gorgeous orange for sunset. Raina radiated beauty, glowing in her white dresses and giving us a glimpse into her upcoming wedding.

Point Dume Engagement Session

Nickee is from Ohio; David is from Los Angeles. Once married the couple has decided they will make the move and start their life together in Ohio where there can be closer to Nickee’s family. With that in mind the pair decided they wanted to take their engagement photos in a location that would remind them of their time in Los Angeles and how beautiful it is.

Victoria Beach Engagement Session

What a wonderful engagement shoot. We were a bit worried with it being the day before Easter the beach would be crowded. However it ended up being perfect! I am so blessed to get to meet and spend time with such wonderful people that really love one another. Jakeb was tired from working at The Fire Station and yet he never complained or even gave any air of wanting to be done.

Rachel + Keith | Engagement

Orange County Fair Engagement Session

Rachel and Keith were nervous about taking engagement photos. They were feeling a bit camera shy and weren’t sure an engagement session was necessary. I encourage all my clients to take engagement photos for many reasons. It’s the perfect way for the couple and the photographer to get to know each other.
