Half Moon Bay Beach Engagement Photos

Engagement

Nov 1

A Cinematic Engagement Session by the Ocean

Ella and Renz are the kind of couple who radiate kindness and warmth the moment you meet them. They’re high school sweethearts (yes, you read that right—high school sweethearts!), and their love story began at a dance studio (side note: they’re both incredibly talented dancers).

If you're looking for engagement photo ideas on the beach, Half Moon Bay is one of the most scenic and romantic locations in Northern California. From misty skies to golden hour light, it has everything you could want for an engagement shoot.

Golden Light in Half Moon Bay

When we started planning their engagement session, the vibe we aimed for was something straight out of a movie: cinematic, romantic, playful, and full of artistic charm. After a little brainstorming, Ella and Renz decided on a dreamy beach in Half Moon Bay as the perfect backdrop. If you’ve been to Half Moon Bay, you know it’s usually misty and overcast, but we lucked out with the most beautiful sunny day—blue skies, golden light, and all the good vibes!

A Sunset to Remember

We spent the afternoon laughing and exploring along the beach. As the session wrapped up, we were treated to a stunning sunset. The sky lit up in vibrant pinks, oranges, and purples, complementing the connection Ella and Renz share. It was one of those sunsets that takes your breath away.

A Love Story That Feels Like a Movie

Photographing these two was such a joy. Their love feels like it belongs in a classic romance movie—the kind of love that’s all about friendship, support, and magic. It’s the forever kind of love, and capturing that was an absolute honor.

Ella and Renz, I’m wishing you a lifetime of happiness, countless adventures, and delicious food (because no great love story is complete without good food). Your love is truly something special, and I can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds for you both!
