I can hardly think of a better location for a Laguna Beach Engagement session than this beautiful private beach! Moreover, the time of day was just right. You just can’t ever beat California golden hour!
Sarah + Zach were so much fun to hang out with during their engagement photos and, above all, they truly enjoyed their time together taking these photos! Whenever couples ask me my opinion about whether or not engagement photos are important or worth it, I always respond with a resounding YES! Firstly, they are the perfect chance for you to meet your wedding photographer if you haven’t already. I promise you’ll learn a lot about them and how they work during this first shoot together which will come in handy on your wedding day! Secondly, unless either or both of you have taken professional photos before, it’ll be a great opportunity for you to test how you feel in front of the camera, find out what makes you warm up and feel comfortable, and see which types of poses and looks you prefer before your wedding day!

Dancing on the beach…certainly moments like these are the absolute best!

This lavender maxi dress was an awesome choice for the location. In addition to being a beautiful color for the setting, the fabric was light and airy enough to catch some wind and movement. As a result, it looked incredible on camera!

Truly a favorite location for Laguna Beach Engagement sessions! And, Sarah’s hair and makeup was just perfect for the look and feel of the shoot.

This photo is one of my absolute favorite images ever and it even won second place for Engagement Photo of the Year on The White Wren!

Aren’t Sarah + Zach the cutest!?! If you loved this beach engagement session, I bet you’ll also love this one, which takes place in Laguna at Victoria Beach! In addition to being another great location for an engagement session, the brides from these two shoots are friends who teach at the same high school together!
Congrats Sarah + Zach on your engagement + wedding (which I’ll be adding to the blog soon!)
