Decade of Newport Beach photography experience
Discover the perfect backdrop for your session. As local experts, we know the optimal timing, permit requirements, and hidden gems at each Newport Beach location.
Engagements, families, graduation portraits
Classic Newport Beach landmark with wooden stilts beneath the pier creating dramatic backdrops, beachfront boardwalk, and McFadden Square. Perfect for iconic coastal portraits with authentic beach town charm.
Family portraits, lifestyle sessions, engagement photos
Charming island community with waterfront boardwalk, colorful beach cottages, marina views, and the famous Balboa Island Ferry. Unique blend of nautical charm and residential elegance.
Tips from Adam: Ferry crossing creates nostalgic moments. Marine Village nearby for upscale settings. Best during weekday mornings or golden hour for fewer tourists.
Adventurous couples, dramatic engagement sessions
Famous bodysurfing spot at the tip of Balboa Peninsula offering dramatic rocky jetties, powerful wave action, and stunning ocean views. Perfect for couples wanting bold, adventurous coastal imagery.
Tips from Adam: Rock formations create dynamic compositions. Check tide schedules for safe access. Dramatic waves add energy but require careful timing and positioning.
Family portraits, engagement sessions, lifestyle photos
Historic pier area with Ruby’s Diner, Balboa Fun Zone views, and classic California beach atmosphere. Great for playful sessions with nostalgic beach town vibes and harbor backdrops.
Tips from Adam: Less crowded than Newport Pier. Combined with Balboa Island ferry makes excellent variety. Sunset sessions showcase harbor entrance views.
Engagements, intimate sessions, tide pool portraits
Hidden gem in Corona del Mar featuring tide pools, rocky outcroppings, and intimate cove setting. Protected marine conservation area with pristine natural beauty and fewer crowds.
Tips from Adam: Permit may be required. Tide pools best at low tide. Intimate scale perfect for couples and small groups. Limited parking requires early arrival.
Family portraits, maternity, engagement sessions
Historic beach cottages, protected coastline, and varied landscapes from rustic to refined. Multiple location options including Pelican Point section for diverse photography styles within one session.
Tips from Adam: Park permits required, optimal lighting times vary by season. Access to both historic cottages and pristine beach. Some walking required from parking areas.
