Engagement Session In Dana Point, California

Brittany and Tyler live in Colorado but decided for their engagement photos they wanted something a little warmer and therefore chose Dana Point in Southern California as the location. We opened up the day knocking back some champagne and Stella’s (I try to stick with non-GMO beers now) and then cruising throughout Dana Point Harbor randomly snapping away. Tyler tried to peer pressure me into drinking Patron with him beforehand and I have to say he was pretty darn close to persuading me into it. The vibe was really good until we started talking about football because these two are huge Denver Broncos fans. That means they are all too familiar with disappointment, but I am an Angels baseball fan so I know all about high expectations and crushing disappointment as well unfortunately ….

Honestly, it felt like it had been some time since I photographed an engagement session at the beach so it was refreshing to soak up that salty air and stare out into the Pacific Ocean without any stress. I normally hate my photos but I am happy with the way everything turned out for this engagement session. I loved the good energy of the day, the smiles, the fart jokes and the love. Below are the photos from our day together in Dana Point so stop reading my non-sense and check them out for yourself now because I can hear my daughter waking up from her nap and need to get on that!

Oh and a huge thank you to Brittany for finding my sunglasses I accidentally left in her car and sending them back to me. You have no idea how much worse hangovers are without sunglasses shielding you from both sunlight and people.

All engagement photos were captured at Dana Point Harbor in Southern California and on the Dana Point beach. Images were captured by Lake Arrowhead photographer Ryan Horban.
