Crystal Cove State Park 

Located just outside of Los Angeles, Crystal Cove State Park is a natural playground full of many different types of scenery, from the iconic Laguna Beach to the hills and trails farther inland. You are going to have a hard time choosing between all of its wonderful settings. 

On the beach, you’ll be charmed by the wooden boardwalk bordered by yellow flowers and sage greenery. Here you can relax on wooden benches amidst the sand dunes covered in natural grasses and brushes and admire the colors of the coast—tawny sand, bright yellow blooms, and understated red leaves. Look out over the Pacific Ocean as the waves crash to the shore, or go down and step rock-by-rock, admiring the cliffs plunging into the depths. Come at sunset for a truly amazing experience and watch the sky transform with the colors of a masterpiece painting. 

No matter the look you’re going for, Crystal Cove will provide a timeless backdrop for your photos and memories that will last for years. It’s a fantastic location for Los Angeles engagement photography and an iconic California setting for the couple that wants to show off their state. Let the serenity of the surroundings inspire you for a fantastic session.
