Indoor Engagement Location Ideas for An Orange County Engagement
Whether you’re considering an intimate indoor engagement or are curious about unique location ideas in Orange County, I’ve got you covered! Let's talk the magic of indoor engagements, inspired by the beautiful day I spent with Summer and Bailey at an Airbnb they booked!
The Magic of Indoor Engagements
Indoor engagements are becoming increasingly popular, and it’s easy to see why. They offer a cozy, intimate setting that can be tailored to your personality and style. For Summer and Bailey, high school sweethearts with a love for all things cozy and personal, an Airbnb engagement session was the perfect fit.
Summer & Bailey’s Cozy Airbnb Engagement
Summer and Bailey chose an Airbnb for their engagement shoot, and let me tell you, it was one of my favorite days to photograph! They wanted a setting that reflected their personalities—intimate, warm, and genuine. This charming Airbnb provided just that.
From the moment I arrived, I could feel the love and excitement in the air. They danced to their favorite songs, drank wine, and even indulged in some cookie dough. The vibe was relaxed and joyful, and it was a true reflection of their relationship. They aren’t huge outdoorsy people and wanted their engagement session to be true to them. The result? Stunning photos that burst with nostalgia and genuine moments.
