Malibu, CA

Love is a journey that takes us to the most breathtaking destinations, and for Andrew and Jessica, their love story led them to the shores of El Matador Beach in Malibu, California. A+J embarked on a romantic engagement session, beautifully captured by me, Ariel, the owner and lead photographer, of Magnolia West Photography. As the sun dipped behind the rocks, the magical scenery of El Matador Beach set the stage for an unforgettable and intimate experience. Not to mention, I accidentially captured a surprise engagement after I stole a guy’s spot on the cliff… More on that another time.
