West Coast Beach Engagement | California Destination Wedding Photographer

Ashlie & Bryon’s Northern California beach engagement session was an instant favorite. They drove down from Salem, Oregon. I came up from the San Francisco Bay Area and we met halfway at the stunningly beautiful Trinidad Beach. We started off in the forest above the beach with a casual look and then hiked down to the beach for the formal shots.

It was pretty tough hike down, especially with a dress and multiple bee hives. These guys are an adventurous couple and it didn’t phase them one bit. The day turned into evening, the fog got thicker and thicker. We headed back up into the woods before it got too dark and got a couple more shots in the blue green foliage before heading back into town.
