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.
Oak Canyon Nature Center
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.
Congratulations Jess + Tony!! After four years of being together they are officially engaged! 🥂 ...

Date night with my hubs. 🥰 We’ve been talking about going to Kauai for a “baby moon” so we got @hapajs and dreamed about Hawaii. 🌺🪸🍍 ...
Hidden behind Giracci Vineyards is a dreamy open field. If you’re having your wedding there, be sure to make time to sneak off for some romantic sunset photos. The staff is so sweet and will drive us over in a golf cart so dont worry about needing to hike anywhere in heels.
Also, keep in mind that the sun sets earlier than you think because it gets hidden behind the hills.
