“We want the photos to be very us.” Melody & Mert took their Engagement photos at home in Santa Monica. These kind of pictures can’t be duplicated because they aren’t taken in any home – they are taken in THEIR home. The beach photos aren’t taken on any beach – they are taken at Santa Monica Beach right by Ocean Park, where Melody & Mert often ride their bikes to catch the sunset.

Love their fun, relaxed energy!

When you remember you have to take some normal pictures for your parents.

They’re both really athletic. They were determined to get this acro pose right.

Hi random dude.

Champagne break, waiting for the sun to drop.

Should I warn them about the wave that’s coming? Nah.

They met at a tango class! Melody said she “accidentally” straddled him that day.

This Santa Monica beach engagement was perfect for this couple because it’s home, and it’s very much them.
