Sunset Sand Dunes Engagement Session

If you haven’t been, I would highly recommend visiting the sand dunes. It literally feels like you’re walking onto mars. It’s such a surreal feeling + an incredible sight to be seen. The light was absolutely magical, the temperature was perfect + the wind decided to cooperate by providing us with a calm breeze which resulted in the most delicate movement in Liesa’s epic gown.

Best Photo Locations in Southern California

Almond blossom season is a very short lived phenomenon, but if you can time it right, it’s truly magical. It is a bit of a drive, but in my opinion, it’s well worth it. The way the light peeks through the rows of trees + the fluffy white texture the blossoms provide makes it feel like you’ve been carried away to a snowy wonderland.

Orange County Engagement Photography

As we began discussing their engagement session, Grace + David had envisioned a wide open space, something along the lines of a wildflower field or tall green grass. However, as we all know, SoCal hasn’t gotten much rain this year, which posed a bit of a challenge for their early March session. Thankfully after much scouting + debating, we were finally able to find a location that perfectly suited their vision + provided a beautiful setting for their engagement photos.

Poses for Engagement Photos

Melanie and Brent love the beach, so they decided it would be the perfect setting for their engagement session. Finding a dog friendly beach was key, since their shoot wouldn’t be complete without including their fur babies Peter + Appa.

The beach can tend to photograph a bit flat, so we chose a spot with rocks and tide pools to provide more depth and dimension to their images.

About Tiffany

From the delicate details, to the fleeting moments, to the candid expressions, my number one priority as your wedding photographer is to create imagery that takes you right back to how you felt in that exact moment.

Through intentional composition, I strive to zero in on the moments you likely didn’t even notice. Memories are so much more than details … they’re feelings. With every click of my shutter, I want to bring your vision to life while allowing you to be deeply present.
