Santa Monica Pier and Palisades Park engagement sessions always feel magical and Kevin and Juliets day was no exception. Just a short drive from downtown Los Angeles, this coastal stretch offers a mix of ocean views, soft golden light and lively boardwalk energy. The pier and the park sit right above the Pacific and together they create naturally beautiful backdrops that make couples feel relaxed and connected. As photographers we love how the open sky gentle breeze and shifting sunlight help us capture both romantic moments and candid laughter.
Kevin and Juliet’s story began years ago in the warm desert air of Tucson Arizona when they first met during their college days at the University of Arizona. Life took them in different directions yet they kept an eye on each other from afar through Instagram. Everything changed when Juliet adopted Max her sweet rescue pup. A simple message about a found dog brought them back into each other’s lives and soon Kevin flew from Utah to Palm Desert to see her. The moment Juliet saw him she knew deep down that he was the one. Their long distance chapter eventually ended when Kevin moved to Santa Monica and their love only grew stronger.
On the day of their engagement session the atmosphere matched their energy warm joyful and effortless. At Palisades Park the soft morning glow wrapped around them as they walked between the tall trees and scenic overlooks. Down on the pier the sunlight reflected across the wooden boards while the ocean breeze added movement to every frame. On the beach they laughed danced and embraced while the waves rolled behind them. Our team worked quietly and naturally letting their connection lead the way and capturing the real moments that showed exactly who they are together.
