Playful Engagement Session in Santa Cruz

This Santa Cruz engagement session with Lena and Kelvin was seriously such a dream! I had so much fun getting to know these two and capturing their fun and sweet personalities! I adored the fun candid moments that we got while running around Natural Bridges State Beach together, watching the birds, and the laughs while we shared each others company on this overcast morning! We woke up at sunrise to meet for this session, and it was SO worth it! I loved popping and drinking champagne with them and getting our legs soaking wet and sandy at the beach. We spent six hours total together, and it was such a fun day that I'll never forget!

Lena & Kelvin's Candid & Playful Santa Cruz Engagement Session

We started the day off having fun and running along the beach, and our next stop was Nestldown, which just so happens to be their wedding venue! When we got there we had so much fun touring the venue and getting some more photos along the way with their sweet pup Bruno!  It was my first time visiting this venue and I was BLOWN AWAY! The views are seriously sooooo beautiful. The trees, pond, princess cottage, fields, and the barn. EVERYTHING about Nestldown is a fairytale and a dream come true! I seriously can't wait to capture Lena and Kelvins wedding next year at this gorgeous venue! And last but not least, we went to In N Out together to have lunch. We chatted for hours about their wedding, their dog Bruno, my dogs, and our life in the Bay Area! It was so refreshing and so much fun getting to know them and becoming friends with them. I can't wait to see them next year!
