Monica & Henry’s Sunset Golden Field and Beach Engagement Photos

Henry and Monica envisioned their engagement photos filled with an ocean-inspired, beachy vibe. So naturally, we started our day along the coast at Montara State Beach, where the calming waves and coastal breeze created a romantic backdrop. However, Mother Nature had other plans — the fog rolled in thick, softening the scene with a beautiful but somewhat unexpected ambiance.

Rather than letting the fog dampen our spirits, we embraced spontaneity and made a last-minute decision to head inland to the stunning golden fields of the Pearson-Arastradero Preserve for our second location, and it turned out to be the perfect move. The warm, radiant glow of the setting sun bathed the fields, providing the dreamlike, golden-hour warmth that perfectly complemented Henry and Monica’s joyful connection.

Between the playful strolls along the misty shore and carefree moments in the sunlit grasses, the day was a perfect blend of the couple’s personalities and love story. I’m so excited for Henry and Monica as they prepare for their wedding later this year and their continued adventures together!
