Santa Cruz Engagement Session (+Family) at Natural Bridges

Santa Cruz Engagement Session (+Family) at Natural Bridges

Weddings often unite more than two individuals; sometimes they create a whole new family. That’s why an engagement session is sometimes something a little more, and I’m absolutely here for it! While it may be a little embarrassing for the kids to see the grownups, well, grownupping – it’s always a fun, rambunctious experience for all. Emily and Matt are tying the knot later this year, but we were able to fit in an amazing session between these crazy winter storms we’ve been having. We started at the rear entrance to Natural Bridges to get that woodsy feel, then followed some back trails before finally making it to the beach, where we were treated with a breathtaking sunset. Enjoy a few of my faves below!

These two lovebirds ran into traffic coming over the hill from San Jose, so our engagement session was definitely a true mini session, but I’m so glad we didn’t postpone because we were awarded with an amazing sunset! How lucky am I to live somewhere that looks like this in January!! Enjoy a few of my faves below, and stay tuned for their wedding later this year…

Natural Bridges Santa Cruz Engagement - Veronica and John

The sun decided to hide behind the marine layer for this quirky, fun engagement session at Natural Bridges in Santa Cruz. Even though we didn't get a sunset, the soft light bathed Veronica and John with lovely attention and helped us create some amazing photos. I love how many shots they're totally cracking up, not taking this whole engagement shoot thing too seriously! Here's a few of my faves:
