Engagement Sessions are surprisingly fun! It’s a low-pressure photo shoot where you’ll be free of the time constraints of the wedding day. It’s an opportunity for you to get comfortable in front of the camera, and most of all, we’ll capture photos that represent your relationship, beyond your wedding day.
The location is up to you! Consider what you like to DO together. Ice cream date, wine tasting, acoustic guitar serenades, popping champagne as you watch the sunset… You be you!
If you love to surf and being at the beach, let’s go there! If reading books brings you together, let’s head to the library! Let’s find a location that fits you as a couple.
Here are some of my favorite photoshoot locations in Orange County. All pet friendly!
San Clemente Beach
San Clemente has beautiful sand canyons and coastline. I love my hometown!
Rustic Open Space + Fields
The wild flowers are blooming in Spring, and in Fall the fields turn a rustic gold.
Ocean View Oasis Laguna Beach
These bluffs overlook the coastline from Laguna Beach to Dana Point. It’s a hidden oasis.
Butterfly Sanctuary
This location is beautiful year round. I love these butterfly sanctuary gardens and trails.
Laguna Beach Coves
Laguna Beach is known for its pristine beaches, clear waters, and that famous rock arch!
In Home Lifestyle Photoshoot
This is a beautiful way to capture the intimate side of the two of you in your home as you do life together.
San Clemente Bluff Trails
This location is beautiful year round. I love these butterfly sanctuary gardens and trails.
Coto de Caza Wilderness
This wilderness park is located in Coto de Caza and offers trails and open fields.

Rows of California Oak trees line the trails. This is a beautiful spot year round.
Crystal Cove
Historic district, the bluffs and the beach have so much variety to offer.
The soft clouds added a dreamy look to Prachee + Brian’s beach wedding. So happy for them! ...
Prachee + Brian had an intimate wedding ceremony on the beach in San Clemente. Everyone held their breath as the tide came closer and closer as they said their vows but the couple embraced it and put their feet in the water after! 💕 ...

I just hit 30 weeks pregnant and as my belly gets bigger, I get more out of breath, battle being hangry too often, and take more naps, I don’t always feel my best. @camrynclairphoto did some maternity photos for me and made me feel so beautiful and celebrated. It was such a gift and I’m so thankful for these photos to cherish this beautiful, awkward, wonderful new experience.
Sweet baby sunshine, we can’t wait to meet you and show you this beautiful world! ☀️💛 ...
This years Motherhood Photo Event was so special! I loved celebrating all these moms and moms-to-be!! Big shout out to @makeupbykaitlynweathers for glamming up my girls, @devynsdressrentals and @camstudios_oc ...
What’re your nicknames for each other? David calls Brooke his little Honey Bee! She wears the name proudly with a little bee in her hair. 😍
I love it when my husband calls me Jan-Cakes.
