Orange County Engagement Photography Session - Corona Del Mar, CA

We met up with this couple at The Resort At Pelican Hill for the first part of their engagement session. Afterwards - we went to a private beach their friends had a key too. When we got there the gate was locked. :( Surprisingly the groom hopped a huge gate to get to the other side - only to find that he couldn't open it from that side either. :( So - we waited for the key. By the time we got down there - the light was pretty much gone. I still think we got some good shots all and all. :)















Love it when they like to get wet!

"Playing at the park" Engagement Photography Session in Costa Mesa, CA

Orange County Engagement Photography

This couple wanted their engagement photos taken at the park with swings. When we met up there were a gazillion kids at the park (go figure on a Saturday) - so we took a few photos then headed to a more deserted park. Such a cute idea - I may have to steal it for another couple. :) We are SO excited for their wedding! :)

Engagement Photography Session in Naples (Long Beach, CA)

This couple was a referral from Eileen & Chad (a past couple that we were able to do the wedding coverage for on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA). The two girls work together and we couldn't be more thrilled to do their upcoming wedding this October at the Firestone Vineyard. They wanted to shoot their engagement at the Naples Canals in Long Beach. They love to walk in this area and dream of someday owning a home here. I loved how they chose a location that was so personal to them. They were so relaxed and even had a glass of wine while walking around (thanks to a sweet neighbor that saw what we were doing). It was a great night and we are looking forward to their big day!
