Laguna Beach Photographer

Laguna Beach is one of my favorite towns for photography. I love photographing couples in and around this coastal city. Located between Newport Beach and Dana Point this stretch of beach is diverse with cliffs, tide pools, and long stretches of sandy beaches. Also home to Divers Cove where scuba divers look for lobster and Garibaldi.
