Ainsley & Max | Laguna Beach Sunset Engagement Shoot
There’s something timeless about the ocean — the way the waves gently meet the shore, the sun dips below the horizon, and a salty breeze carries laughter and whispers. Ainsley and Max’s engagement session at Laguna Beach was every bit as dreamy and genuine as their love for each other.
We started just before sunset, letting the golden hour light wrap them in the softest glow. Walking barefoot along the shore, they held hands, leaving footprints behind them — a sweet reminder that this is just the beginning of their journey together. The reflection of their silhouettes in the wet sand felt like something out of a love story — simple, honest, and effortlessly romantic.
One of my favorite moments was when Ainsley leaned in close, her new ring catching the last rays of daylight. There’s such tenderness in the way they hold each other — a perfect mix of joyful anticipation and quiet intimacy that makes photographing couples like them such a privilege.
Laguna Beach always delivers the perfect backdrop for love stories like this — calm waves, soft sand, and a sunset that makes every moment feel extra magical. Ainsley and Max’s session was a reminder that sometimes the simplest moments are the ones that mean the most.
