When Taryn and Kevin envisioned their engagement session, they wanted something fun, relaxed, and full of memories. Their choice? A day out in Santa Monica, starting with the eclectic vibes of Abbot Kinney and ending with the iconic Santa Monica Pier—places that hold special meaning for them.
We kicked off the session at Abbot Kinney, where Taryn and Kevin’s playful spirits were immediately on display. Strolling hand in hand, they explored the vibrant streets, stopping at Salt & Straw for some ice cream (because who can resist their unique flavors?). The laughter was contagious as they tried to steal bites from each other’s cones, and we captured the pure joy of their love in every frame.
After cooling off with their sweet treat, Taryn and Kevin wandered the streets, peeking into shop windows, admiring the local art, and chatting about their favorite finds. The energy on Abbot Kinney was electric, and it felt like the perfect place to document their laid-back yet chic love story.
Next, we made our way to the Santa Monica Pier, a spot that holds a special place in their hearts. One of their first dates was spent here, so naturally, they had to recreate the magic. The couple played games, laughed through a few friendly competitions, and even hopped into a vintage photo booth to capture some spontaneous moments.
As the sun began to set, we headed down to the beach. With the waves crashing gently in the background, Taryn and Kevin kicked off their shoes and dipped their toes in the water. It was a beautiful end to a perfect day, capturing the essence of their relationship—fun, full of love, and deeply rooted in shared memories.
Taryn and Kevin’s Santa Monica engagement session was not just about the photos; it was about reliving the moments that have defined their love story. From Abbot Kinney’s vibrant streets to the nostalgic charm of the Santa Monica Pier, every location added a layer of meaning to their journey as a couple. It was an honor to capture these memories for them, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this incredible duo.
