Santa Monica Engagement Pictures

We planned Mariam and Jason's e-session to be at the Santa Monica pier. I love shooting here because the light under the pier is exquisite. It gives me opportunity to incorporate architectural elements, waves crashing against the pillars, and it gives a little bit of privacy while we're shooting.

Even on hot days like this when the beach is super crowded, not many people venture underneath the boardwalk.




I wish I could remember the name of this restaurant we found because it's in this alley with intersting colors and that gorgeous iron door.
