A golden hour Malibu beach photoshoot for German travelers

While on holiday in Southern California, Lukas and Lukas decided to have a couple’s portrait session before returning home to Germany. The pair spent an overcast spring afternoon in Malibu, where they explored the beach with their photographer and stumbled upon the coolest little cave.The oceanside session was laid-back and romantic, and as they made their way up to the bluff for a few photos in a grassy meadow, the sun peeked through the clouds just in time to capture the picturesque golden-hour light. The duo ended the beach photoshoot by soaking in the sunset together.Are you in the planning stages of your next vacation?
