A Playful Santa Cruz Redwoods & Boardwalk Engagement Session

Engagement Photos

back

Holly and Miles brought so much fun and the best energy to their engagement session in Santa Cruz! I love when couples decide to add a mixture of locations into their sessions because it adds so much variety! For Miles and Holly, the perfect combination was exploring the Santa Cruz Redwoods and then heading over to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk for some skee ball and some chocolate dipped ice-cream. Can you say YUM? It was so fun! We then ended up on the beach during sunset during the end of their session for some sweet and playful photos!

Holly & Mile’s New York Phot Booth Proposal to a Playful Redwoods & Boardwalk Engagement Session!

Something that I always love about being a couples and wedding photographer is getting to learn more about the couple, what they love to do together, and how their proposal went! For Miles and Holly, it happened in New York. They always love getting photo booth photos wherever they go, so proposing in a photo booth just made all the sense! We also sneaked a few photo booth photos in for their engagement session too, because how could we not?! Holly and Miles told me they’ve never done a photoshoot like this before, but you wouldn’t be able to tell. They are so cute and compliment each other perfectly! I loved how the redwoods brought a whimsical vibe to their session, while the beach and boardwalk brought out the fun and playful side of their relationship!

Let’s Plan Your Own Santa Cruz Engagement Session Next!

No matter what you love to do, the options in Santa Cruz for your engagement session are endless. From the beaches, redwoods, or even something simple like your favorite restaurant or local coffee shop. Or make it extra fun and let’s do two different settings for your session like Holly and Miles! I would love to hear all about what you envision for your engagement session. You can learn more about me here. If I sound like the perfect Santa Cruz photographer for you, then inquire with me here! In the meantime, check out more engagement sessions like this one on the blog and get inspired!
