I adore when clients choose locations for their sessions that I love so much, which is why I can’t wait to share these romantic sunrise Sunset Cliffs portraits! Brianne reached out to me about photographing her and her fiance, Drew, the morning before they drove up to say their “I dos” at the Orange County courthouse. Sunrise sessions are always a great idea at any popular location, such as Sunset Cliffs, since you don’t have to worry about any other photographers or visitors getting in the way. This particular morning was perfect – completely clear, cotton candy skies and the whole location to ourselves!

I also couldn’t have asked for a sweeter, cuter couple. They were completely natural and relaxed in front of the camera, and I really think it shows in their photos! I so wish I could have seem them exchange vows, but I am forever grateful for the opportunity to capture the love between these two. Enjoy some of my favorite Sunset Cliffs portraits!
