We started Alex and Bryan’s engagement shoot at the Malibu Farm Pier Cafe. It was a perfect day with lots of sunshine and stunning Pacific views. For the second part of their engagement shoot, we went to El Matador in Malibu. Sigh… I love this Southern California beach! Even the crowds can’t spoil that gorgeous place, especially when there is champagne involved.

Today I’m sharing a few of my favorites from Lauren and Aaron beautiful engagement session we photographed this past weekend. The film scans from Goodman Film Lab started rolling in today, and I just couldn’t wait!

Aaron grew up surfing in Malibu, so going to the beach is something that is really meaningful and special. El Matador is always a top choice because other beaches can hardly compare to the beautiful sea caves and massive rocks sprinkled along the coast.

Lauren and Aaron met through a mutual friend and the rest is history. They will be tying the knot this spring at Calamigos Ranch, and I cannot wait to document their celebration and work along my favorites - Weddings by Susan Dunne and Mulberry & Moss.
