What a seriously fun engagement session we had this day. Dee and James took me to the first spot they’d dated in Long Beach. A cute little restaurant named Panxa, with rad modern design and the perfect vibe for a first (or 82382th) date. After cozying up at the restaurant and a quick outfit change, we grabbed their bikes and I chased them around the palm tree lined streets of Long Beach. We found all the nooks and crannies, autumn leaves, funky homes, and ended up at the beach for sunset.
You could find them chugging some champagne and wrestling their way into the sand before the sun dipped behind the ocean. Their romance reminds me of a rom-com movie — effortless and silly and adorable all at the same time. All that to say, I’M SO SAD I WASNT AVAILABLE FOR THEIR WEDDING DATE, UGGGGGH. But they’re in good hands 😉
I’ll be cheering you love-birds on and can’t wait to see photos from your celebration <3
I love date-night engagement sessions. They’re loosely planned, allow us to discover hidden gems around your favorite city and make for the most spontaneous photos. You can see Kelsey and David’s date night around Santa Monica here for more of those vibes.
