El Matador Beach in Malibu is one of the most beautiful and picturesque beaches in Southern California. With its rocky coastline, turquoise waters, and stunning sunsets, it’s a popular location for romantic photo shoots, including this romantic engagement session with Tina and Aria.

In January, I had the pleasure of photographing an engagement session at El Matador Beach. Wanting to capture their love in a lasting and wonderful way, my clients thought El Matador Beach was the perfect backdrop.

During Tina & Aria’s engagement session, we took advantage of the incredible rock formations and dramatic cliffs. Some of my favorite portraits of the couple were against these beautiful backdrops. The crystal clear waters of the ocean provide a stunning contrast to the rugged terrain. The happy couple had an outfit change into more casual date night wear. This created the perfect intimate atmosphere for their romantic engagement session in Malibu.

Closing out the session after the sunset, we had a lovely chat about their excitement for their wedding. This engagement session was just a prequel to their upcoming wedding at the Spanish Hills Club in Camarillo in September. The Spanish Hills Club is a beautiful and elegant wedding venue in Camarillo. For now, please enjoy their romantic engagement session in Malibu!
