Engagement Photos: Christine & Chris (Walnut Creek, CA)

Such a wonderful engagement photoshoot! We met in downtown Walnut Creek, at one of the couples’ favorite restaurants and wandered around the area, finding the best little spots for photos. Christine and Chris were so comfortable in front of the camera, which allowed their connection to one another really shine through. Being able to capture that in photos makes me so happy, because I think those are the best images. Congratulations on this step in your journey and your upcoming wedding!

Santa Cruz Engagement: Emily & Marc

This post is part engagement photos, part documentation of the day’s happenings and some good-old practice behind the lens. I am really happy with this set of photos. I had the opportunity to try some interesting shots, enjoy the locations we went to and had a blast with some great people. These photos make me excited to have a camera in my hand.

Emily and Marc are a great couple, the connection between them is evident and beautiful to see. They chose some spots on the UC Santa Cruz campus and a secluded beach for their photos, all of which offered a great variety of settings for their photos. Congratulations to both of you!

Huge thanks to Renee for bringing me along on her shoot, it was a great time, words cannot express. And thanks to Emily and Marc as well for having me.

Livermore Engagement: Brianna & Arnott

Brianna and Arnott were so much fun on their engagement shoot! These photos turned out absolutely beautiful, but also show the sweet connection they share with one another, and that is a truly special thing. They brought some really great ideas for pictures they wanted to try, which resulted in some unique shots and a lot of laughter throughout the shoot. We also had the best light for these photos, ending with a beautiful sunset on a warm evening.

Thank you both so much for a great time and I wish you all the best in your journey together!

Seattle Engagement: Wendi & Sam

Three cats, two dogs, one hot rod, tons of locations and two wonderful people make for a great set of engagement photos. I really enjoyed spending the day with these two, going to a ton of locations for different sets of photos. My favorite thing about this shoot was the variety of the whole thing, including a lot of things special to Wendi & Sam. I truly am so happy for these two & am so excited to shoot the wedding during the summer months!
