For couples who want the best of both California worlds, Maddy and Matt’s session is the ultimate blueprint. We spent the afternoon chasing a high-contrast aesthetic, moving from the shaded, earthy textures of Oak Canyon Nature Center to the sprawling coastal luxury of Treasure Island.
The Shaded Escape: Oak Canyon
Located in Anaheim Hills, Oak Canyon Nature Center feels like a hidden woodland retreat. With its weathered boardwalks and year-round oak canopy, it provided a grounded, organic start to our day. It’s the perfect spot for quiet moments away from the Southern California bustle.
The Coastal Icon: Treasure Island
We finished the session at Treasure Island, situated just below the Montage Laguna Beach. This isn’t just a beach; it’s a landmark. Between the perfectly manicured cliffside gardens and the turquoise tide pools, the location offers a sophisticated, “vacation-vibe” finish that only Laguna Beach can provide.
By pairing the deep greens of the canyon with the bright, airy blues of the Pacific, Maddy and Matt walked away with a gallery that feels as diverse as their own adventure.
