Marina + Colin frequent this famous Taco Bell Cantina location where they love to collect their magnets. It's a place they've been to often during their relationship and have shared a lot of memories. When choosing a secondary location for their engagement session, they knew that this was the spot. So after a short session at the beach, we made our way over and the rest is truly iconic.

It was love at first bite


What mattered most was to center this session around who they really are. They thought of it of it as a fun date night together with the goal of enjoying each other's company. I told them don't stress about posing, think instead of what makes you feel most natural and comfortable. This let the moments unfold naturally.


There was a lot of food in this session, and they started off sharing a pizza from their first date (more pics of that to come later). Their pup Sulley joined in a little while later then off to Taco Bell we went because obviously the pizza wasn't enough.


They ran along the boardwalk outside, snuggled up under the lights, snacked on Cheezy Gordita Crunches under the Taco Bell sign, then played around on the bike rack.


Embracing the silly, goofy side of their relationship resulted in photos that truly express their love: full of laughter, nose-scrunching smiles, and food.


Fingers crossed Taco Bell sponsors their wedding!
