El Matador Beach, Malibu Sunset Engagement Photos - Jina & Albert
Malibu must be one of my favorite spots in the world! Every time I come back it fills me with joy and inspiration to create and capture that magical West Coast light:)
This past January I had a stop over in Malibu and Los Angeles before documenting a wedding in Seattle and I was so thrilled I met Jina and Albert online and we decided to organize a lifestyle session to capture their engagement photos in El Matador State Beach. Let me tell you this place is crawling with photographers and there must have been at least 5-6 photo sessions happening at the same time. I am not surprised why because this beach is special. It has the rocks, the cliffs, the water and even a rock tunnel! Now I’de like to think we did a couple of things a little differently and really captured the textures and that stunning light;)
Jina and Albert, thank you so much for your energy and for sharing these moments with me!
