Half Moon Bay is the perfect blend of rugged coastal charm and serene woodland beauty, making it a dream location for engagement sessions. This Romantic Half Moon Bay Engagement Session was nothing short of magical, taking place across two breathtaking spots: Dunes Beach and Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve.

Purisima Creek Redwoods Engagement Session

We began the day at Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve, nestled in the lush hills. The towering redwoods provided a dramatic yet tranquil backdrop as this sweet couple shared quiet moments together. The soft, golden sunlight filtered through the trees, illuminating their love and adding a touch of warmth to every shot. Dressed casually, they looked effortlessly natural and at ease, which perfectly complemented the serene forest vibes.

Dunes Beach Engagement Session

From the forest, we transitioned to Dunes Beach, where the rolling waves and endless horizon offered a romantic coastal setting. The couple changed into more formal yet comfortable attire, with the bride-to-be donning a stunning white dress that stood out beautifully against the sandy shores. The groom’s sleek black shirt added a touch of sophistication to their playful and intimate moments by the sea.

Despite the cool ocean breeze and overcast skies, their chemistry radiated warmth, resulting in candid, joy-filled photos that captured their personalities and connection. From walking barefoot along the shoreline to embracing in the sand dunes, every shot was filled with love and laughter.
