Engagement Photos at Natural Bridges State Beach in Santa Cruz

About This Post

Katelyn and Ben met at UCSC a few years ago, so it was only natural for them to host their engagement session in a city that held many special memories for them. They ultimately chose Natural Bridges at the destination for their engagement shoot, a location that offers many beautiful backdrops (not just the beach). As you can see, the recent rainfall has added swashes of lush, green growth, making these photos come alive in their vibrancy. Ben and Katelyn were like putty in my hands as I directed them through the shoot. After exploring the fields and forest pathways, they changed clothes before finishing the session at the beach.

Enjoy my favorite photos below – and please feel free to leave a comment or share!

About Chris (GoodEye)
If you don’t think you have what it takes to look like one of the couples on this page – you’re wrong! With a little coaching and a couple shots of tequila (I jest…), you can get results just like all the other “normal” non-model people you see here. I’ve been shooting engaged couples for quite a few years, and I absolutely love it. It’s a challenge that I embrace – and let’s be honest, you two will be way more cooperative than a couple of cranky toddlers – right?
