Treasure Island, Laguna Beach: An engagement Session with Intention and Beauty

Nestled along the quiet cliffs of South Laguna, Treasure Island is one of the most visually stunning locations for an engagement session in all of Southern California. As a Laguna Beach Wedding photographer, I’m constantly searching for places that feel intimate, cinematic, and timeless – Treasure Island delivers on all three.

This particular session was an example of what happens when light, love, and location align. With golden hour brushing softly across the tide pools and the cliffs casting elegant shadows, the couple moved effortlessly through each frame – laughing, holding one another, and sinking into the experience.

One of the reasons I recommend Treasure Island in Laguna Beach for engagement photos is its blend of textures; the manicured paths and staircases offer structure and form, while the soft sands and rugged rocks create natural, emotive contrast. It’s perfect for couples who want a session that feels both refined and relaxed – an editorial backdrop without losing coastal charm.

We began the session just before sunset to take full advantage of the golden light that Treasure Island is known for. Whether you’re planning an engagement session, elopement, or even a micro- wedding, this location offers unmatched versatility and visual elegance. The soft palette of seafoam, sandstone, and sky makes it ideal for neutral-toned outfits and fine-art photography.

As a photographer, my approach is always rooted in intentional direction – so you’re never left wondering what to do with your hands, yet never posed so much that the emotion feels rehearsed. This session was about presence, ease, and connection – and the images reflect exactly that.
