Capturing Alex and Erica’s engagement session in San Clemente perfectly blended romance and California charm. We started our shoot at the picturesque Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Garden, surrounded by lush greenery, Spanish-style architecture, and stunning views. I photographed several weddings here, and it’s always such a beautiful spot. Alex and Erica’s connection shone through in every moment, from quiet, candid exchanges to joyful laughter as they explored the beautiful grounds.

For the second part of the session, we headed down to the beach just in time for golden hour. As the sun set over the Pacific, Alex and Erica walked hand-in-hand along the shoreline, creating memories as waves crashed nearby. The warm light and serene setting were the perfect backdrop for capturing their love.

I’m so grateful to be part of their journey and can’t wait to capture their wedding day!
