Blake and Severina’s wedding is THIS Saturday!! Time sure flies! For their Engagement Session we went down to where Blake is a Life Guard at Crystal Cove. Not only was this location super personal because of his connection with it, it is also a gorgeous beach. It also has The Beachcomber Cafe so we were able to stop by for a drink mid shoot!
Severina wrote about her Engagement Session experience and put together some really helpful E-Session Tips:
Engagement Session Tips from the Bride-To-Be
Here’s an excerpt from her blog:
“Tip #6. Focus on EACH OTHER, not on your poses: Don’t try to be too posey; it’ll come off forced and unnatural in the photos. Your photographer will give you plenty of direction (“okay now kiss her cheek” or “look to your left” or “put your hand on his shoulder”) so don’t worry about any of that. Sure, it’s kind of an odd idea – taking romantic photos in public for a couple hours – but if you decide to just have fun with it, it’s a blast! Be yourselves! Be goofy, be flirty, make each other laugh, and when in doubt – just smooch! Some of my favorite photos are the candid moments and giggles.” Read more.
Blake and Severina!! I am so stoked for you two and excited for your wedding on Saturday! You two are a perfect balance for each other and I can see so much joy in you both. Congratulations!!

Kim & Danny were married overlooking the Dana Point harbor, surrounded by pastel blooms and dreamy clouds. The whole day felt soft, romantic, and full of the kind of love you never forget.

The kind of wedding that reminds you what it’s all about—just love, family, and the ocean breeze. Annalise & Brian kept things beautifully intimate, with a ceremony overlooking Capo Beach and golden hour portraits down on the sand. A perfect SoCal wedding from start to finish.
