I have been dying to photograph an engagement session at El Matador Beach in Malibu and Shannon & Dani’s spontaneous trip to Southern California made that possible! These two cuties won my engagement session giveaway last year, but between their busy lives (she’s a photographer and business owner and he’s a medical resident) and a global pandemic, we had to do a little waiting to get together for photos. 

I was thrilled to hear from Shannon that they were taking a short getaway trip to Malibu for a change of scenery and wanted to try to squeeze in a session while they were in town instead of waiting for my next trip up to the Bay Area. The timing worked out so perfectly, and we got together at the Malibu Pier and El Matador Beach (socially-distanced of course!) for some gorgeous photos!

Shannon & Dani are truly two of the kindest souls I know and I couldn’t be happier for them to be on their way to a beautiful marriage!
