A Romantic Carlsbad Beach Engagement Session in Southern California, Congratulations Elle + Zach

This sweet couple is celebrating their engagement on the beach in Carlsbad! Although Elle does not live here yet, she will be moving here soon to be with Zach who is stationed with the Marines in Oceanside! I have lived in Oceanside all my life and love the sweet military couples who call this sleepy little beach town home for a while!

Location:
Carlsbad, California

Vision or style:
Soft and romantic with a touch of modern with her tattoos, and vintage with his classic Marine uniform.

Favorite moment:
This beach is always one of my favorite locations so my favorite moment was when the sun reached the perfect location and the light turned golden all around them…it’s a photographers dream!

Favorite photo:
There are so many that I love and my favorites are below, I think my absolute favorite is at the very end where she is wearing his hat!
