Morro Bay Couples Photos

Every year it’s our tradition to do our annual Christmas Card photos. I love to obsess over them! Outfits, Location, Props.. you name it and I have it all thought out and prepped for the hour long shoot. I have loved doing this ever year since we got married… and that might be why I prepare so well for campaign shoots as well. They’re so fun for me, however I know that is not the case for everyone. So I’m going to share different ideas and shoots we have done in the past and ones we do from here on out. This will help with inspiration, but also for me to have a place to look back at each one we have done!

This first shoot I want to share is from our 2020 pictures with Ellie Koleen. Ellie is such a sweet person and a talented amazing photographer. If you are looking for someone in the California area and beyond (because I know she loves to travel) I highly suggest her!

These were taken in Morro Bay. This year we had purchased a new beach house in Morro Bay and it felt like the perfect time to do a shoot in our new town! I wanted it to be classic, simple and timeless. Which meant to be clean, no colors, no prints just creams, just whites and neutrals only..with maybe a few spots ;)! I also added in a bottle of Champagne mostly so I had some content photos for NYE. The champagne also made a cute element to finish a shoot right out of the ice cold ocean water! This was considered my only “prop” in these photos and I loved the suppleness of it and the one color that pops in those photos!

I hope this gives you a fun idea for your next shoot and let me know below if you want to see more of these! You can also shop our looks and similar styles below:)
