There are few places in Southern California as beautiful as the Newport Beach coastline and it was truly the perfect location for Taylor and Tommy's engagement session. The Las Vegas natives got to run around at Crystal Cove state beach and soak in the California sunshine and coastal breeze. With golden cliffs, soft sand, and incredible ocean views, their engagement photos at Crystal Cove State Park created the perfect setting for a relaxed and romantic coastal session.

For couples planning engagement photos in Newport Beach, Crystal Cove is one of the best locations for a variety of scenery in a single session. Here are a few tips to help you plan your own Orange County Beach Engagement Session:

1. I highly recommend planning your session for golden hour for the dreamiest golden lighting on the coastline.

2. Avoid loud colors in your clothing. Wear neutral or coastal tones that will complement the Newport Beach scenery.

3. Bring Comfortable shoes. Most beaches in the Newport Beach area have trails or a set of stairs to access them.

4. Explore multiple areas on the beach for a variety of photos. Take in the view on the cliffside, snuggle up on the beach, play in the water, or search through tidepools together.

5. Don't forget to book a Newport Beach Wedding Photographer to document your love!
