## Caption

I didn’t realize how much I was going to love shooting at Casa Romantica until this session 🥹 Easily one of my favorite engagement session locations in SoCal ✨

A + G’s session had so much variety — historic architecture, ocean views, garden paths, and then sunset on the beach literally steps away. It felt like multiple locations in one shoot.

A few things I wish I knew before shooting here:
🎫 permit + entrance costs
📸 best photo spots around the property
🌅 timing the session around golden hour
👗 outfit ideas that photograph really well here
🌊 how to pair it with a beach session after

Full experience on the blog experience ✍️

📍 Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens
