There’s nothing quite like the magic of Big Sur engagement photography—the rugged coastline, the endless ocean views, and the golden light that makes every moment feel cinematic. When Lili and Tiffany reached out to book their engagement session while visiting California for a retreat, I knew we had to make their shoot something unforgettable.

We started our session with an absolute showstopper: a vintage red Mustang convertible parked along a stunning vista point on Highway 1. With the wind in their hair and the Pacific stretching endlessly behind them, Lili and Tiffany’s love radiated through every frame. The vibrant red of the Mustang was the perfect contrast to the cool blues of the ocean, adding a timeless, adventurous feel to their photos.

Next, we made our way down to Garrapata State Park for a breathtaking Garrapata State Park engagement session, where the coastal succulents were in full bloom. The soft, muted greens and deep reds of the plants created a dreamy, romantic backdrop as they walked hand in hand along the cliffs. The magic continued as we ventured down to the beach, where the waves crashed gently at their feet. They embraced, danced, and soaked in the beauty of the moment as the sun dipped lower, casting a warm golden glow over the shoreline.

For our final stop, we hiked over to Soberanes Point, where dramatic rock formations jut out into the sea. The contrast of rugged stone and the soft, intimate connection between Lili and Tiffany made for some of the most breathtaking images of the day. As they stood on the cliffs, looking out over the vast Pacific, their love felt like a force of nature—strong, beautiful, and unwavering.

This engagement session was one for the books—not just because of the stunning locations, but because of the deep connection and joy that Lili and Tiffany shared throughout the shoot. Their laughter, their quiet moments, and the way they looked at each other made every shot feel effortlessly romantic.
