Sometimes the best moments happen when everything doesn’t go according to plan. That’s exactly what made Courtney and Alex’s engagement session at Huntington Beach so special. We had perfect plans to capture some stunning sunset shots, with the golden hues of the beach in the background, but as fate would have it, the rain decided to make an appearance. And you know what? It made for some truly unforgettable photos!
We started the session on the beach, and these two were an absolute blast to work with. They brought so much energy and joy, it made every shot feel natural and fun. The vibe was perfect, with Courtney and Alex laughing, sharing stories, and clearly enjoying each other’s company.
As the session went on, the clouds rolled in, and we could feel the first raindrops. But instead of calling it quits, Courtney and Alex were all in! They didn’t let a little rain get in the way of capturing these moments. In fact, the rain added an incredible touch to the photos—there’s something magical about those soft droplets falling around them. It brought an entirely new dimension to the images, making the colors pop and giving the photos a romantic, cinematic feel.
It’s moments like these that remind us how important it is to trust the process and embrace the unexpected. Sometimes the rain creates an atmosphere that you can’t plan for, and we’re so glad Courtney and Alex were up for it!
These two are clearly meant to be together, and we can’t wait to capture even more of their love story as they plan for their wedding day. If their engagement session was any indication, their big day will be filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Until then, we’ll cherish these rainy day shots and the joy that Courtney and Alex brought to Huntington Beach—rain or shine!
