Nothing like dipping our couples’ feet in Pacific Ocean water and catching romantic Southern California sunsets under the Huntington Beach Pier!

This was the first real day of a California Summer. We arrived on the beach itself with a high temperature of 103F and taking time to get a lot of photos around the area while taking hydrating breaks. As sunset came, this scene was like an eclipse, elements of the photo were aligning. The sun had rays flaring off the rocks while the ocean waves were in between medium and high tide. My couple immediately knew what I was seeing, positioned them, composed, and took this shot! In a span of 3-5 minutes, the sun disappeared quickly behind the rocks, but got the scene and couple to our liking!

The weather was overcast the entire day 'til we went down on the beaches of Santa Barbara, and at the right moment and time, when the sun finally peeked out for an epic sunset. Our team captured this image of these two lovebirds to one of their favorite romantic places in and along the Pacific Ocean!

Before heading over to the ceremony site, we got a quick snapshot of what an elevator car filled with our lovely bride and her bridesmaids looked like!

This was one of our couple's favorite scenic places to spend time together. Perfect skies and the view of the city, provides for a stellar, romantic feel.

Had an enjoyable time with this amazing couple as this was a destination enagagement shoot and found a gem of a cool area in the hot desert sun!

Some of our favorite photography peers are from the Arizona area with amazing photos so we took a short destination trip from the beaches of California to the desert cactuses of Arizona and put our own photographic touch to get this awesome shot with this amazing couple!

Catching the golden hour on this Southern California winter day, we found the perfect natural light and the perfect couple for this amazing backdrop!

Victoria Beach is one of the most popular and iconic spots in Laguna Beach, California. Within the few hours we were there, the waves were crashing on the walls, so we waited for the perfect hour and calmer waters to take this golden hour moment!

We brought these two for a romantic stroll through busy downtown San Diego traffic fresh off saying their "I do's!" What's better than having a red light to stop traffic? These two lovebirds!
