We had never been to Solstice Canyon in Malibu until this engagement session. THAT will definitely be changing.
They’re eloping in Portugal (HOW AMAZING IS THAT GOING TO BE?!) later this year but want to legally get married here first. So they flew into San Francisco from Seattle, got legally married and road tripped down to Malibu as a fun “mini honeymoon/engagement” trip to celebrate. Talk about literally ditching tradition and doing their own thing! We loved what they had planned! It was such an honor that they wanted us to join them in their celebration and capture some photos to commemorate the occasion!
We love to see couples ditch tradition and do their own thing! Shell and Tanner are one of those couples.
It’s so awesome that they wanted to document their engagement session in Malibu at Solstice Canyon!
We all headed up to the windy, gorgeous hills of Solstice Canyon in Malibu for their session. It was such a special, fun time. Their love is so evident you can feel it when you look at them.
⠀
We had lots of laughs and lots of hair in our mouths the whole time but it was so worth it! The sunset beaming through the hills on them was such a gorgeous vibe.
⠀
This session was just what we needed to reignite our passion and gratitude for what we’re able to call our job.
⠀
It truly is a dream to be able to do this. So grateful for it!
