J V Fitzgerald Marine Reserve + Half Moon Bay Beach Engagement Session



Arica + Jayden were the absolute cutest, down to earth & go with the flow type of people! This day was SO windy, but these two embraced the craziness of it all and their love really shined through. These two met in high school and were such good friends. Fast forward to 6 years later, they reconnected, fell in love & went through long distance together for 2 years. Now they live together in a little mountain town in California, but still share the love of the coast. These two are such adventurous souls. Jayden asked Arica to marry him after planning a road trip from Northern California up the west coat to Bend, OR. They found an isolated lake that looked like a perfect spot where Jayden decided to propose. They took out our paddle board, coffee and their pup out to the middle of the lake where Jayden asked if she would marry him... of course she said YES! And the rest is history! I had such a fun day exploring half moon bay with them. I can't wait to see these two again to capture their wedding in November!! :)
