Balboa Fun Zone Photographer – Newport Beach Engagement
Kim and Clark’s engagement session was super sweet. They wanted to stay close to home in Balboa so we literally walked down the street for their engagement photos! Kim’s family are lifelong member at the Newport Harbor Yacht Club (which is currently being rebuilt!) Her father is actually one of the engineers on the project. The Balboa Fun Zone is a great engagement location. Their isn’t much to be excited about inside today’s Fun Zone, which is sad for us because we grew up coming here back in the day. But there is still plenty of history to be in the background of your engagement photos! The old Ferris Wheel still operates daily – check out the cool history here. You can still get an ice cream cone or go on a boat ride. Gilmore Studios is a local Balboa Fun Zone Photographer and has photographed hundred’s of portrait sessions there.
The Balboa pier
The Balboa pier was built way back in 1906! It is a landmark on the Balboa Peninsula and makes a perfect background for photos. Most of our clients want a photo under the pier with the old wood pillars. This is always a safe place for photos at any time of the day. However, sunset is always our favorite time of the day for portraits.

How did you meet?
Clark and I went to High School together and had mutual friends. Each time we hung out together through friends, we were always dating other people. (I always had an eye on him…) We went out one night with a friend (and were both single) and made out in a taxi cab on the way home from the bar. The rest is history! -
Clark proposed on Thanksgiving while my family and some friends were over. He pulled me outside and told me he was thankful for me. He then got on one knee. It was simple and special!
