a coastal engagement session in palos verdes

This engagement session in Palos Verdes had all the ingredients I love: ocean views, soft golden light, and a couple completely present with each other. We wandered along the cliffs and winding paths as the sun started to dip, giving us that perfect mix of warmth and texture in every frame. The energy was calm and fun, with just enough breeze to bring movement and a little bit of magic into the moment.

Photographed on digital, this session has both that nostalgic softness and the crisp, candid moments that tell the full story. Palos Verdes always delivers when it comes to quiet beauty and natural drama, and this day was no exception. There was no pressure to perform, no timeline to chase. Just space to connect, breathe, and document this chapter in a way that feels real and lasting.

Here are a few of my favorite moments from this beautiful coastal session.
