BEST TIME OF YEAR FOR NEWPORT BEACH PHOTOS

My favorite time of the year in Newport Beach is the winter months from December to February. It is the time with the least crowds and most beautiful sunsets for amazing photography.

We also typically get a couple of weekends with summer weather in the middle of winter, so if you get lucky we might end up photographing you at the beach on a warm day in the middle of January.
