I love going to new places for engagement photo sessions! Check out this engagement down in Orange County for Coralee and Ricardo . First, we started out at Oso Creek and explored their gardens. Honestly, we could have been there for like 3 more hours but we had to make our golden hour deadline at the beach in Dana Point. Just like me, Cora and Ricardo are local to South Bay so we decided a change of scenery was in order and I am so happy with the results!

These two were so sweet with each other too – I just love their excitement for their relationship AND photos! We had a blast seeing new things and getting to know one another. That is why I feel like engagement sessions are so important for me to get to know who you are as a couple. Most of the time throughout the planning process I talk mainly with the bride and we do tend to work very close all the way up to the wedding day. You name it – brides send me inspiration through pinterest, instagram and facebook – I love that they trust me enough to show me their vision and allow me to add a creative Lisa twist. The engagement session allows for me to get to know you both, how you feel about photos, what makes you uncomfortable and just overall just see you two interact with each other. I feel so lucky to have met Coralee and Ricardo. Their wedding should be a blast if it is anything like their session.
