Your Engagement Session
Location Scouting
I'll help you choose the perfect Orange County location based on your style. Beach cliffs at sunset? A lush botanical garden? A charming downtown streetscape? We'll find the backdrop that feels right for your story.
Golden Hour Magic
Southern California sunsets are unmatched. I schedule sessions during the golden hour when the warm, directional light wraps around you beautifully. The result is that warm, dreamy glow that defines the best engagement photos.
Relaxed Direction
Most couples aren't used to being in front of a camera. I give gentle direction throughout the session — prompts to interact naturally, move together, and just enjoy each other. No awkward posing.

Popular Engagement Photo Locations in Orange County
Orange County offers some of the most photogenic engagement session locations in California. Crystal Cove State Park is a perennial favorite with its dramatic cliffs and tide pools. Victoria Beach in Laguna offers the iconic pirate tower backdrop. The bluffs above Treasure Island and the trails at Top of the World provide sweeping ocean views.
For something different, San Juan Capistrano's Mission and Los Rios Historic District offer old-world charm. The Huntington Beach Pier area brings a classic Southern California vibe. And for couples who want a more natural setting, the trails and gardens throughout Irvine, Newport Back Bay, and the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary are gorgeous year-round.
Book Your Engagement SessionFrequently Asked Questions
Where are the best engagement photo locations in Orange County?
Crystal Cove State Park, Victoria Beach in Laguna, Dana Point Harbor, the Montage bluffs, and Top of the World trail are all stunning options. I'll help you choose based on your style and the time of year.
When should we schedule our engagement photos?
6-8 months before your wedding is ideal for save-the-date timing, but truly any time works. The session also doubles as a great way to get comfortable with me before the wedding day.
How long does an engagement session take?
Sessions typically run 60-90 minutes. That gives us plenty of time for outfit changes, exploring different spots within the location, and a mix of candid and more intentional portraits.
Can we bring our dog to the engagement session?
Please do! Pets add so much personality to engagement photos. I recommend having a friend on standby to hold your pup for part of the session so we can also capture intimate moments of just the two of you.
