Downtown Laguna Beach Couples Session

Lauren and Brian hold hands and smile on a sandy beach at sunset during their Laguna Beach engagement.
Engaged! Lauren & Brian will be celebrating their wedding at 7° in Laguna Beach, Orange County.

Location:
Downtown Laguna Beach offers a huge variety of awesome and unique backgrounds for an engagement session! We started the session in the downtown area and then did a quick outfit change to finish on the beach and boardwalk of iconic Laguna Beach California!

Vision or Style:
Lauren & Brian have a very classic and modern look. It was perfect with all the backgrounds we had to choose from in downtown Laguna Beach!

Favorite Moment:
My favorite part of the engagement photo shoot was walking around the downtown area of Laguna Beach. I just love the variety of vintage and modern buildings and backdrops for the photos.

Favorite Photo:
It’s so hard to decide but here is a selection of my favorites. Let me know which one is your favorites in the comments!

I hear this all the time: "I want to remember this stage." Not the posed version. Not the perfect version. Just this season exactly as it feels right now.

One of my favorite things about milestone sessions is seeing those little personalities emerge. Suddenly they have opinions, expressions, and a look that is completely their own.

The families who call me aren`t usually looking for photos. They`re looking for a way to hold onto a season that`s slipping by a little faster than they expected. #moonlightbeach
