Picture this: a sunny October day, the perfect backdrop for a beach adventure. We kicked off our engagement session at the Fun Zone in Balboa – because what screams "engagement session" more than colorful Ferris wheels and arcade games? Sydney and Evan's love for each other was evident as we wandered through the charming streets, capturing candid moments of their joy and laughter.

But the real magic happened at The Wedge, where the crashing waves and golden sands provided the perfect backdrop for their love story to unfold. Sydney and Evan's love story began with a blind date set up by their besties, who conveniently became their maid of honor and best man. Talk about fate, am I right? Sydney and Evan are total gems – easygoing, full of life, and SO in love. They were making googly eyes at each other like they were in a dang rom-com the entire time which of course was my favorite moments to capture!

We had an absolute blast running around Newport, capturing their love in all its perfect imperfections. From playful splashes in the ocean to intimate moments shared under the warm October sun, every moment was filled with love and laughter.

Candid Engagement Photos

Let me tell you a little secret – I absolutely love being a candid and documentary-style photographer, especially when it comes to capturing beach engagement photo ideas. There's something so raw, so authentic about capturing life as it unfolds, without the need for forced poses or staged moments. And you know what? It worked out perfectly for Sydney and Evans' beach engagement photos at Newport Beach. Instead of orchestrating every shot, I prefer to take a step back, observe, and let the magic happen naturally. It's all about capturing those genuine, unscripted moments – the laughter, the stolen glances, the little gestures that speak volumes. With Sydney and Evans, it was no different. I watched as they danced along the shoreline, chased each other through the sand, and simply enjoyed each other's company. And let me tell you, those are the moments that truly shine on camera – the ones that tell their love story in the most authentic way possible.
