San Clemente Beach EngagementEngagementsSan Clemente Beach Engagement
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.

Selecting the Location

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.
