When considering a location for your engagement photo session you will often think of a “type” such as a beach or a naturesque location, or perhaps urban. But many of our clients want something unique. If unique is what you want, then the Noguchi Garden would be ideal for you. Noguchi Garden Engagement Photography in Costa Mesa by Three16 Photography provides you a lifetime of beautiful memories.

Designed by Isamu Noguchi, Noguchi Garden is like having an outdoor art gallery that you can somewhat interact with. It sits on 1.6 acres of land right in the middle of the business sector of Costa Mesa, meaning next to Mastro’s Steakhouse and across the street from The Westin South Coast Plaza and the South Coast Plaza shopping mall. This is a true hidden gem. Noguchi Garden is a collection of plantings and sculptures and is known as the California Scenario.

Some of the very unique features to this location include a pyramid, which is like the centerpiece of the garden, a small stream of water, a large wall and tree, along with cactus and a lot of great angles for your photos. The limits here for potentially great photo backdrops are endless.

Although this is an outdoor location, we recommend wearing nice outfits to reap the full benefits of this amazing location. It is definitely not the place to dress down.

If time permits, we can also do a second location such as the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, which is only a half mile away or we can drive down the street to either The Lab-Anti Mall or The CAMP.
