San Diego Engagements for Taylor & Jake

This San Diego beach engagement session at San Onofre State Beach for Taylor and Jake was too much fun! These two had a fun trip planned to San Diego, Ca to celebrate their recent engagement and Jakes birthday! These two were coming from Wisconsin and as a San Diego engagement photographer, sessions like this are a reminder of how magical the coastline can be, so I had to make sure I showed it off to them as well. We gave these two a true California Beach Day and ran around playing in the sand and water, shared lots of giggles and then ended the evening with one of the most beautiful sunsets!

If you're planning engagement photos at San Onofre State Beach, here are a few tips to make the most of your session:

Plan for sunset. Golden hour provides the most flattering light for beach photography. Considering sunset for your engagement session will be sure to highlight those iconic Southern California views.

Wear neutral or coastal colors. Soft tones like beige, white, sage, or light blue complement the natural beach environment. But be sure to dress in a way that feels true to you.

Be ready to explore. Walking along the shoreline and cliffs helps create a variety of backdrops throughout the session.

Embrace the relaxed vibe. San Onofre is known for its laid-back atmosphere, making it easy for couples to relax and enjoy the moment. Bring your pup along and play around on the beach with them. Treat it like you're two kids enjoying a date night on the coast. Think Summer I turned Pretty vibes.

Don't forget to bring along your San Diego Wedding Photographer so they can document your date night on the coastline!
