California couples photos at Leo Carrillo State Beach


One of Karrah and Nate's favorite places to spend time together is at the beach. Living in California we had quite a few options on choosing where we wanted to shoot. With my couple being adventurers they wanted to try somewhere new, and I had the perfect spot in mind :) Leo Carrillo State Beach is such a gorgeous location, it's a little gem off the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu California.

Leo Carrillo is located off of the Pacific Coast Highway and has the cutest little hideaway spots and coves. We started our shoot on the beach in one of the nooks that hides off the coast.


For the second part of our shoot we headed to the stairs that lead us back up to the street. I got some cute candid shots on the way before finishing off our shoot on one of the trails that overlooks the beach.


You guys! I'm telling you the scenery and views are absolutely gorgeous, and even though we happened to be there on a overcast day it truly doesn't matter the location is just that beautiful.


Karrah & Nate are just the cutest couple, they love making memories together and I truly enjoyed capturing the love that they share. They were super comfortable in front of the camera, and even though it was freezing outside we still had fun. & hey, the sun even made a cute little appearance towards the end of our session for us.

Couples photo session


Having a couples photo session is a fantastic way to capture real, genuine, candid moments of you and your partner having fun together. But what are the reasons for couples to get photos done? Couples today are busier than ever. They're working long hours, managing families, and trying to find sometime for themselves. Life can be hectic and it's easy to forget to document the happy moments you share together. A couples photo session is the perfect way to capture the happiness, love, and connection you share. It's a chance to step away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and focus on each other.
