Morro Rock - Morro Bay, CA - Drew Zavala Photography - Location Spotlight
Morro Rock is one of the most iconic scenes along the Californian coast. That’s why it would make an amazing location for your next photo session! This volcanic plug sits on the coastline, stretching 576 feet tall. Not only is this one of the most stunning views along the coast, but it holds a ton of historical significance to our state.
Including this massive rock in your photos will lend a sense of character to your images, setting them apart from ordinary photo shoots. Whether it's a portrait, engagement session, or family photo, Morro Rock adds an unmistakable touch of grandeur and distinction.
The allure of the Pacific Ocean is undeniable, and Morro Rock provides an enchanting coastal setting for your photo session. The rhythmic crashing of waves against the rocky shores, coupled with the vast expanse of the ocean, creates an atmosphere that will infuse your pictures with a sense of tranquility and natural wonder.
Morro Rock and its surroundings offer a diverse range of photography opportunities. From golden sandy beaches to rugged coastal cliffs, we'll find the perfect backdrop to match your desired aesthetic.
We can even walk right up to the rock itself if you want, but we can’t climb it because it’s an ecological preserve for peregrine falcons, and it holds strong cultural significance to Native Americans.
On calm days, the waters of Morro Bay mirror the rock's imposing presence, creating stunning reflections that will amplify the beauty of your photographs. These mirror-like reflections offer an artistic and surreal touch, making your images truly stand out.
However, there are days when Morro Rock isn’t very visible due to fog or rain. If this happens during our session, we can either make the most of it or reschedule. While it is disappointing, this has happened a few times.
That said, nothing is better than a perfect day here. Morro Rock is a stunning location with tons of history and cultural significance. I highly recommend it!
If you love California as much as I do, consider choosing Morro Rock for your next photo session! I can’t wait to see you there.
