Wedding Engagement Photography – Orange County – Heisler Park No comments yet
This weeks wedding or engagement photo location takes us to Heisler Park, in Laguna Beach (Orange County). It’s been referred to perhaps as the most beautiful beach in Southern California by travel magazines. On any given day in the summer, you will find many photographers and videographers jockeying for a position to capture their couples against the setting sun.
One of the main reasons I enjoy taking engagement photos at Heisler Park, is due to
it’s rock formations that add to a picturesque backdrop. My preferred time of year to photograph on the beach is winter; you can capture some awesome clouds as seen on the black and white engagement photo of the couple to the right.
Heisler Park is not just for capturing great engagement photos. I have have photographed a few weddings both on the beach and in the gazebo located on cliff drive (Near Las Brisas restaurant). In my next post, I’ll list the requirements for securing the beach for your wedding).
Some amenities of Hesiler Park include clean restrooms (which is nice when I have couples bring a change of clothes), nice grass areas, and bar-b-que’s for picnicking. Parking can be scarce during the summer or warm months, so you’ll want to plan your engagement or wedding shoot early. Also, you’ll want to have quarters for the parking meters. They do take credit cards as well and a change machine is available on Cliff drive
in the middle of the park.
