Some places are so magical, they seem made for love stories, and the Big Sur coast is one of them. For Londen and Craig, this iconic stretch of California coastline provided the perfect backdrop for their engagement session.

Who would have guessed that the East Bay Area would be home to a stunning redwood park? Ashley and Nico celebrated their engagement amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Oakland Redwoods. As an engagement and wedding photographer with a keen eye for capturing love stories, I couldn’t have asked for a better setting.

Picture this: a sun-drenched San Francisco afternoon, the perfect backdrop for an engagement session that would make even the most jaded of hearts skip a beat. Savannah and Brandon, dressed to the nines in formal attire, were ready to embark on a whirlwind of a day – with an engagement party right after our shoot. Talk about dedication!

When Taylor reached out and asked me to candidly capture the moment he proposed to Sam, I immediately that I had to say yes! We decided to do the shoot on the beautiful cliffs of Pacifica, California, with the picturesque ocean views providing an ideal backdrop. I knew that the location would add an extra touch of magic to the moment, and I was ecstatic to begin!

Thinking back on Leona and Tim’s engagement session at Balboa Park in San Diego, I am struck by the profound emotions and experiences that photography can bring. It’s hard to describe the feeling of capturing the perfect moment – the golden light illuminating a couple in love, the raw emotion of a candid shot, and the joy and excitement that comes with exploring a new location with a camera in hand!
