Jennifer & Tim are such a sweet couple! When they contacted me and said they wanted to do a session at the beach, I immediately knew I wanted to go to Santa Monica to take advantage of some of the fun bright walls around the pier, plus the amazing sunset cliff locations. I was so happy that they agreed to have their session near the pier because we ended up getting so many fun looks out of one afternoon and one location! As always after a super fun session I had trouble picking my favorites, but here are a couple of the standouts

First up Jennifer looking gorgeous. I think it’s impossible to take a bad photo of this girl

Going for a little walk down the pier, I loved Jennifer’s adorable dress!

A quick stop to try a couple funky hats

Next we headed down to the beach … we had an absolutely gorgeous day with sunny blue skies!

And what’s the fun of a visit to the pier if you don’t make a stop under the pier as well? I loved the look of the light coming in through all of the columns.

Jennifer wanted to make sure that they got some sunset photos as well so once we finished up taking some photos down on the beach we headed up to the park along the cliffs. We had a while to spend before the “official” sunset, which is the best time of day for the warm and glowy light that graces the beaches here every afternoon.

It was a good thing we stuck around because the sunset was gorgeous! I do love a sunset silhouette

Jennifer and Tim it was SO great to meet you! Thanks so much for coming out to Santa Monica to meet me, and for waiting so patiently to see your photos while I tackled my crazy weekend . I am so excited for your wedding in May, I’m sure it’s going to be beautiful!
