5 Stunning Southern California Engagement Session Locations
CONGRATS, you’re engaged!!!! Now it’s time to pick where you want to take your engagement photos! With so many gorgeous places to choose from, you really can’t go wrong with any location. I always encourage couples to pick a place that is meaningful to them or has scenery that they vibe with! If you need some ideas, below is a list of some of my favorite, tried and true spots.
5. Downtown Los Angeles / Arts District
Eclectic alleys, rooftops, urban scapes - DTLA is the perfect setting for a cool couple looking for an urban setting.

4. Griffith Observatory
Next to images of the Hollywood sign, Griffith Observatory is the next iconic image that flashes up on the big screen whenever LA comes to mind. (Umm hello LA LA Land?). Griffith Observatory is one of my favorite places during sunrise for an engagement shoot! Near empty grounds and a gorgeous sunrise view? Perfection.

3. Palm Springs
Just 2 hours east of LA, you’ll find the desert oasis that is Palm Springs! There is truly nothing like this place. From the Moorten Botanical Gardens, to the mid-century modern architecture, this place brings the funk. Pro-tip: Don’t schedule your engagement session in the middle of summer time, or prepare for 116 degree weather!
2. Malibu
Malibu has such a diverse landscape of backdrops to choose from! Cliffside at Point Dume, within the fields of trees at Malibu Creek State Park, or on the beach at El Matador - Malibu has something for everyone!

Joshua Tree National Park
You can’t go wrong with a desert engagement session in Joshua Tree National Park! One of my favorite places in Southern California, Joshua Tree is the perfect desert backdrop, featuring huge rocks and desert plant life! You could easily spend hours in this park, running around and shooting with different scenery, all within the same location.
