Orange County Wedding Photographer | Sam & Emy |Malibu El Matador Beach Engagement

Photo by: Three16 Photography (www.Three16photography.com)

Being an Orange County wedding photographer has truly granted me and my team the privilege to meet so many amazing couples and to see so many beautiful sights in southern California and such is the case with Sam & Emy.  For Sam & Emy’s engagement session, we headed up the coast from our Orange County office to El Matador Beach in Malibu.  Not only is it an absolutely beautiful beach with intriguing rock formations but it’s also a place that holds significance for Sam & Emy.  As an Orange County wedding photographer, I always love when the couple chooses a location that’s important to them and it was great to hear how Sam & Emy had one of their first dates at El Matador beach.  After taking their engagement pictures there, I can easily see why a guy would choose El Matador Beach as a location for a date.  Great call Sam!  It was great spending the afternoon with these two lovelies and it was great getting to know more about them.  I’d certainly say one word you could use to describe them would be playful and they loved to have fun in front of the camera.  But even more so these two adore each other and that is what stood out to me the most as I captured their engagement photos.  Our Orange County wedding photography team is so excited to be capturing their Ritz-Carlton wedding in Laguna Niguel this fall.  Stay tuned for pictures from that but for now, enjoy this lovely engagement session.
