Celina and Alan’s engagement session began with timeless elegance at St. Francis Episcopal Church in Palos Verdes, where the ivy-lined stone walls and classic architecture created a romantic, old-world backdrop. Beneath the soft arches and quiet courtyards, their portraits felt intimate and refined—gentle handholds, knowing smiles, and peaceful moments framed by the church’s serene beauty. As the evening unfolded, they made their way to RAT Beach, where the mood shifted to effortless coastal romance. Golden hour light spilled across the shoreline, illuminating the cliffs and shimmering ocean as the sun dipped toward the horizon. Barefoot in the sand, with waves rolling in and the sky painted in warm pastels, Celina and Alan’s laughter and easy connection were captured in a series of glowing, joy-filled images that perfectly blended classic charm with Southern California’s natural beauty. Excited to capture their upcoming wedding later on this year at Camarillo Ranch House!
