A Romantic Prelude to Their Wedding Day
When planning an 8-hour wedding photography package, an engagement session is a must-have. Not only does it allow couples to get comfortable in front of the camera, but it also gives us a chance to capture their love in a more relaxed setting before the big day. For this beautiful couple, their engagement photoshoot on the shores of Newport Beach was the perfect way to set the tone for their upcoming wedding.
Golden Hour Magic We met at a secluded spot along Newport’s rugged coastline, just as the sun began its descent. The golden hues reflected off the waves, creating a warm, dreamy glow that made every shot feel straight out of a romance novel. With bare feet in the sand and the sound of waves crashing nearby, they laughed, embraced, and simply enjoyed the moment together.
Authentic Connection & Effortless Posing
One of the best parts of engagement sessions is capturing natural, candid interactions. Rather than stiff, posed shots, we focused on movement—walking along the shore, whispering inside jokes, and even a few spontaneous twirls. Their chemistry was undeniable, making for effortlessly stunning photos that truly reflected their bond.
A Sneak Peek into Their Wedding Style
The bride-to-be’s flowing navy gown was the perfect choice for the coastal setting, complementing the groom’s laid-back yet stylish flannel and denim look. This casual elegance mirrors their wedding theme—timeless, sentimental, and full of heart. Engagement sessions are a great way to explore different styles before the wedding and help couples feel even more confident on their big day.
