A Playful Morro Bay Couples Engagement Session | The Beginning of Forever

It all started with a cup of cappuccino — a simple Hinge date that turned into a really long one that just never ended. From that first meeting to planning a life together, these two share the kind of connection that feels effortless.

Their Morro Bay playful engagement session was the perfect way to celebrate this season of their story beginning before their wedding day in the following Summer. Between ocean breezes, laughter, and sunset light reflecting off the water, every moment felt relaxed and real.

Choosing the Perfect Location for Your Engagement Session on the Central Coast

When planning your engagement session, location matters. Whether it’s the beach at Morro Bay, a coastal bluff in Montaña de Oro, or a vineyard tucked into Paso Robles — choose somewhere that reflects who you are as a couple.

As a Morro Bay photographer, I love helping couples find spaces that feel meaningful, whether it’s where you had your first date, your favorite morning coffee spot, or simply a view you love. These familiar settings always bring a sense of comfort that translates beautifully in your photos.

Tips for Planning Your Engagement Session by a San Luis Obispo Photographer

Here are a few planning tips for your engagement session to help make the most of your time together:

• Choose multiple outfits: One casual look that feels like “you,” and one more elegant outfit that makes it feel like a date night.

• Time it right: Golden hour — that dreamy hour before sunset — always gives the best natural light.

• Stay present: Engagement sessions are more than just photos. They’re an evening spent away from screens, focused entirely on each other.

• Trust the process: I’ll guide you with playful prompts, movement, and music so your session feels fun, never forced.

Engagement sessions are included in most wedding packages — it’s a great opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day.

Capturing Connection Through Playful, Candid Photography

What makes Morro Bay engagement photography so special is its natural mix of calm and movement. From chasing waves to soft moments by the dunes, it’s about documenting your connection exactly as it is.

Every session is meant to feel authentic, intentional, and true to your story — a reflection of how you love, laugh, and live together.
