Cliff-side Beach Spring Engagement

Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

If there was one word we could use to describe Elizabeth and Joe it would be: sweet. They weren’t just sweet towards each other but their personalities were exactly that! Talking to them throughout their shoot felt like we were catching up with old friends. PLUS they met in (what Marijo thinks) is the best way possible: Disneyland! Not like they were waiting in a two-hour long queue for Indiana Jones, but they were both chefs at Disney! Elizabeth was a pastry chef. We just needed to type that out because it reminds us of beignets *mouths watering*. Anyway. All thoughts of pastries aside, we were so ecstatic that they had a place in mind to do their engagement session. On a beautiful spring day they lead us to this gem of a park in Rancho Palos Verdes. It had EVERYTHING: the views, the cliffside, the wildflowers, the greens, AND that was the dreamiest day for any photographer because we got every single kind of weather in our 1.5 hour session. We got some beautiful overcast soft light and right in the nick of time, gorgeous sunset rays, followed by a little drizzle and then some very cool storm clouds.
