Nick and Katherine’s beach cliffs engagement photos make me so happy! We met early for gorgeous photos in the trees: light streaming through the branches, the perfect golden sunshine, wild Cypresses. These two are so cute and it was such a pleasure running around the forest with them. After the trees, we did a quick outfit change and spent the last bit of light enjoying the beach and the waves. The cliffs in the part of Half Moon Bay are some of my favorites: the bright orange-red, the wild patterns in the dirt… it’s magical.

The light rays coming through the trees here make me SO happy. Seriously, it’s gorgeous and beautiful out here and when the sunshine comes through the trees just right? Well, it’s perfect.

Holy guacamole, these next photos make me the most happy. That red dirt, those big cliffs, those time humans in love. This. THIS is the way to do beach cliffs engagement photos!! Everything about the last light on the cliffs makes me the most happy and makes me so excited to share these photos with you. Katherine and Nick were so much fun and so easy to work with: We had a fabulous time and they were game for anything. These photos next to the beach cliffs make my heart happy.
