There are certain locations that steal your heart the moment you set foot on them, and for me, Pescadero State Beach in California is one such place. I had the absolute joy of capturing Olivia and Kyle’s San Mateo engagement session on this dreamy beach. As a photographer, I’ve always had a soft spot for beach shoots; there’s something about the rhythm of the ocean that adds an extra layer of magic to every frame. But this specific spot at Pescadero State Beach took my breath away. Come see the amazing moments I captured for O + K!

An Engagement with Cotton Candy Skies

The engagement session coincided with a spectacular sunset, casting a warm, golden glow over the landscape that made the entire scene look like something out of a fairytale. The hues of the sky reminded me of cotton candy, creating a mesmerizing backdrop for Olivia and Kyle’s love story. The connection between them was radiating the whole time. I felt so privileged to freeze those intimate moments in time against the backdrop of the Pacific.

Film Photography for a San Mateo Engagement Session

What made this shoot truly special were the film photos. There’s a timeless quality to film that perfectly complemented the romantic atmosphere of the evening. Each shot captured the essence of Olivia and Kyle’s love with a richness and depth that digital photography often struggles to show. The soft, grainy texture of the film added an ethereal touch to the images, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the entire session.

Love From Olivia and Kyle

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for our engagement photos, we love them so much 🥹 I’ve seriously been looking at the photos at least once a day because they are just so beautiful and make me so happy. Thank you for making the experience so much fun, and providing us with photos that we will seriously cherish forever!”
