More and more couples that we have come across are leaning towards getting out into nature, therefore wanting to hold their engagement photo sessions at one of the many Orange County regional parks and preserves that the county has to offer. If you want nature that includes a view, hiking trails, and a lot of brush, then O’Neill Regional Park is one to consider. An O’Neill Regional Park engagement photography session in Trabuco Canyon by Three16 Photography will deliver you a lifetime of beautiful photos.

O’Neill Regional Park sits on 4,500 acres that is filled with sycamore trees and coast live oak. Other plant life includes sagebrush, cactus, buckthorn and wild buckwheat. The trails at this location equal 23 miles that is occupied by hikers, joggers, horseback riders and mountain bikers. Because O’Neill Regional Park is known for being a campground, it also has a playground, horseshoe pits, an amphitheater, butterfly garden and grassy turf areas too. And if we get a clear day, we can capture the beautiful overview of Trabuco Canyon itself. All of these opportunities would make for great backdrops to your engagement photos.

If time permits to include an additional location, we can go off the beaten trail a bit as Holy Jim Trail is about six miles away, or head to Red Rock Canyon or Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park. Or for something outside of hiking trails and are completely different, we can look into Rancho Las Lomas or Cook’s Corner.
