I’m so excited to share this California Adventure engagement session with you today! When Czelene reached out about their engagement photos, I just couldn’t wait to work with them! There’s something so special about engagement sessions. They capture the pure joy and excitement of such a pivotal moment in life, making every shot feel magical and timeless.

California Adventure Engagement Session

Czelene and Gabriel got engaged earlier this year, and when they chose California Adventure for their engagement shoot, I knew it was going to be extra special! The weather was perfect—sunny with just the right amount of clouds to soften the light. We spent time a lot of time in front of Pixar Pal-A-Round and their playful energy was infectious, especially when we headed to Radiator Springs. The rock formations added a stunning backdrop to their natural chemistry as they joked around. This stage of their life, preparing for their wedding, is such a unique time to capture—full of anticipation, love, and celebration.

One of my favorite shots was Czelene standing in front of the iconic Pixar Pal-A-Round, twirling her dress, looking so effortlessly happy. I also loved when Gabriel and Czelene walked through Radiator Springs—there was such a fun, adventurous spirit to those shots, especially with the desert cliffs behind them. We finished the session with some fun Marvel-themed photos in Avengers Campus, and the colors of the murals brought such vibrancy to the photos!

To Czelene and Gabriel, thank you so much for allowing me to capture these precious memories for you! Your engagement is such a joyful time, and it was great getting to know you two better. I can’t wait to see your love continue to grow as you prepare for your wedding day!

Enjoy this little peek into this sweet engagement session!
