Inaara and Shain’s engagement session at El Matador Beach was pure magic from start to finish. The Malibu beach, the crashing waves, and that dreamy sea breeze created the perfect dreamy backdrop that Inaara invisioned! Especially when she stepped onto the sand in her traditional sari. I was obsessed with how the fabric caught the wind; every movement felt cinematic.
We wandered along the cliffs and let the light wrap around them as the sun dipped lower. Afterwards, we made our way to The Adamson House, one of the best hidden gems in Malibu! The session took on a more timeless, romantic feel. The architecture and gardens paired beautifully with their refined yet effortless coastal style, creating the perfect transition from beach adventure to elegant calm.
Their engagement session has me so excited for their upcoming two-day wedding celebration next month! Day one will be filled with vibrant Indian wedding traditions and color, followed by a second day celebrating their western ceremony. The perfect blend of culture, meaning, and love. I can already tell it’s going to be one for the books!
XO!
