El Capitan Beach = great place for engagement portraits!
When Dara and I were wedding planning, we discovered a place just north of Santa Barbara / Goleta called El Capitan State Beach Park. It was May, and the park was beautiful! Unfortunately, by the time July came around, the grass was burned, and it was a sad site.
Since then we’ve always thought it would be a great place to shoot between March and May. When it came time to do some engagement pictures for Joe & Veronica, we thought – hey let’s go do it at El Capitan Beach!
