Danielle & Shawn's Engagement Session at the JV Fitzgerald Marine Reserve | Half Moon Bay, California

By Mark Pereyra

One of my favorite things about being an engagement photographer is getting to explore all the places that nature has to offer.

So when Danielle and Shawn decided they wanted to take photos at the JV Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, David and I were super excited because we’ve never been there before. Danielle and Shawn were one of our first couples when we started this photography business. After a couple of lockdowns and safer conditions, we finally got to meet up with them and plan their engagement session.

If you can’t make it to the Cypress Tree Tunnel in Inverness, this place is just as good.

I loved that there were so many trees and that all the light was even around, so anywhere we went made for beautiful, soft photos. It’s a place where you can take photos at any time of the day. Even better, Danielle and Shawn crushed their poses! I loved capturing their fun, warming side (they have the biggest hugs to give to each other), but we also got to explore quiet moments in between the trees.

Congratulations again, Danielle and Shawn!! We can’t wait to take photos for your wedding :-)
