Beach engagement photos are always a favorite of mine. I love listening to the waves crash on the sand, walking on the beach with sand in my toes, and watching as the sun sets on the horizon. Though I can’t remember the last time I went to the beach for leisure, it seems like I […]

Vanessa and Alejandro told me how much they love the ocean, how they enjoy sitting on the sand and listening to the waves. They call their time near the ocean “wave therapy”. […]

For Hanna & Hunters engagement session we went to one of my favorite locations, Natural Bridges Beach. It was a beautiful overcast day, perfect for pictures at the beach. I love it when my couples end their beach session getting their feet wet. If you don’t know Pacific ocean temperature, well the water is freezing! […]
