A La Piedra Beach engagement is perfect for couples seeking a quiet hidden gem along the Malibu coast, offering breathtaking ocean views and a flower-lined trail down to the beach without the crowds. With its secluded shoreline, rugged cliffs, and golden light reflecting off the waves, the stage was set for T and M’s engagement session. Their love story, which began through mutual friends and has since taken them across different cultures and continents, felt right at home against this quiet, tucked-away stretch of Malibu coastline.

A Love Story Rooted in Adventure and Connection

T and M’s love story is one of chance encounters, shared passions, and cultural connections. From their first meeting in Seattle, where a conversation about cocktails led to a long first date, to traveling to India and Cambodia to meet each other’s families, their relationship has been filled with moments of growth, laughter, and exploration. They support each other’s interests, whether it’s hiking remote state parks, watching soccer matches, or stepping outside of their comfort zones.

Photographed by My Associate Photographer, Allie

For couples who book their wedding with the associate photographer option, my goal is always for the experience to be just as seamless and personal as if I were behind the camera. Allie, my trusted associate photographer, leads your wedding day coverage, while I handle planning, editing, and final delivery. Because Allie would be photographing T and M’s wedding later in the year (stay tuned for that post, coming soon!), it made perfect sense for her to capture their engagement session as well. Not only did it allow T and M to get comfortable in front of her lens, but it also gave them the chance to meet and feel at ease with each other before their wedding day.

A Golden Hour La Piedra Beach Engagement

With Allie behind the lens, T and M opened a bottle of champagne to start the session at the top of the cliffs, soaking in the peacefulness of the moment. They made their way down to the beach itself and embraced near the high tide, walking hand in hand and letting their natural chemistry shine.
