engagement session at a beach in malibu california

The ocean has a way of making love stories feel cinematic, and Vincent and Jeanine’s Malibu beach engagement at El Matador illustrated this. As the sun dipped toward the horizon, the waves shimmered in golden light. We explored the rugged cliffs and hidden sea caves for an engagement session that felt intimate, adventurous, and perfectly in sync with their love story.

A Love Story Full of Surprises

Jeanine and Vincent’s journey together began with twists and turns—starting with a mutual friend trying to set them up and ending with Vincent offering Jeanine a ride home after realizing they lived just down the street from each other. That serendipitous moment turned into a dinner invitation the next day, and from there, their love story unfolded. Years later, Vincent proposed in a beautifully orchestrated surprise at a gazebo in Laguna Beach, where there families emerged from hiding to celebrate with them.

A Malibu Beach Engagement with Effortless Romance

El Matador Beach is one of the most iconic engagement session locations in Malibu, California, known for its hidden sea caves, towering rock formations, and sweeping ocean views. With the sun setting over the ocean, the golden hour light created the perfect atmosphere for a free-flowing engagement session. Throughout the session, I guided them with a series of playful prompts and poses that aligned with their natural chemistry and felt authentic to their energy.
