One of my favorite things as a wedding photographer is when a couple just enjoys being together. I didn't have to tell Clay and Amanda one thing about facial expressions...their emotion was real. So real that it even upstaged Dana Point, which is tough to do.

The Ocean Institute boasts full views of one of the most picturesque coves along the Southern California coast...and these guys were brave enough to venture down into the rocks, in heels, at high tide. Adventurous couples who really like each other, on a rocky ocean cove all day? My job doesn't get much better than that.
