Mendocino Coast Engagement Session | Lauren + Cameron | Mendocino, California Adventurous Couples Photographer

I met Lauren + Cameron for drinks before their session on a windy saturday in february. Lauren ordered a Moscow Mule and Loaded Nachos and I knew immediately that we were going to make great friends!

While we sipped our drinks, these two told me how they had grown up going to school together. It wasn’t until they were both in college that their love story truly began. He was a firefighter with US Forest Service at the time which meant he was away several weeks at a time during summer months. Despite his long works hours, they fell in love and are engaged to be married later on this year.

The day of our session together, the wind was HOWLING. It was crazy strong and made for some amazing messy hair photographs. When we met at the restaurant, I immediately told Lauren how GORGEOUS her hair is. She replied saying that she was feeling some regrets for leaving it down. I assured her she would not be disappointed by her choice.

After our drinks, we headed to the bluffs above Pudding Creek Beach in Fort Bragg where Lauren + Cameron toasted to their engagement with some wine that Lauren’s mom sent along and then we proceeded to explore the bluffs. One of my favorite things about this location is the cypress grove that towers above the beach. The wind was howling as they sat in the grove and toasted their love story. Lauren’s hair did exactly what I promised it would and made magic happen. If you’re as infatuated with windswept hair, outstanding coastal views and romantic kisses as I am, you’re going to throughly enjoy these two and their untamed love!
