We hit the sand for Ashley and Mike’s Newport Beach Engagement Session. Their wedding is next October at The Newport Beach House, and the staff there was sweet to let us park and their lot and get VIP beach access. Special treatment is fun! It also meant we were able to avoid the crowds, which these days is definitely preferred!

 

Golden Hour Goodness

We decided on 7pm for our beach rendezvous. 🙂 I believe sunset was at 8:30, so bring on that golden hour light!

 

 

This photo made me so excited when I took it!

 

These two said they felt awkward taking photos, no sign of that here!

 

Love everything about this, and love our engagement photo stomping-grounds, beautiful Newport!

 

 

Ashley’s a real beach babe. Hot stuff!

 

 

AH, Perfect light

The light just got prettier and prettier. You can get a totally different image, depending on the angle of your lens. Love this soft, golden light shooting into the sun.

 

Romantic!

 

This is a nondescript spot next to the parking lot. Isn’t it dreamy?! It’s all about the light!

 

 

Ring, Ring… who’s there? Your future husband! LOL

 

We squeezed out the last bit of sunset. It’s a wrap!

 

Ashley and Mike- It was a treat to meet you at sunset for your Newport Beach Engagement Session! Thanks for being so fun and so stinkin’ cute and in love!
