Engagement

The UC Davis Arboretum was the perfect setting for Aman and Geno’s engagement photo session. They were so playful and in love, which made capturing genuine moments a breeze.

First off, this is not your typical engagement session blog post by a bay area engagement photographer.  Yes, we will include photos of what we captured below.  And the session itself was amazing. But this blog is more about what happened after the shoot. Yes, I was held at gunpoint by thieves wanting my camera. Here is the story….

Wow, as an engagement photographer, we love when couples find awesome and unique locations for their engagement sessions! This was certainly the case for Mary and Oleg who had their engagement shoot last week at Filoli Historic House and Garden in Woodside, California. If you haven’t been there during the holiday season, you need to […]

The best engagement photographer knows how to incorporate light in their images to make them stand out above the rest. We tried to do this with Samantha and Tim’s pictures at Sly Park Recreational Area in October. When they were looking for a location that had a nature feel, with the option of water nearby, […]

However, due to the COVID-19 shut down we kept putting it off, until it finally happened in June! Because we shoot so much in downtown Sacramento and Old Town, we […]

Malvina and Andrew’s engagement shoot was such a fun time in South Lake Tahoe.  Since it was our first time shooting up in the area, we visited the location a few weeks earlier ahead of our shoot so that we could scope out all the nice areas for photos. We decided to head to the […]

Mira and Kevin’s California coast beach engagement photoshoot was truly a magical experience, if you can’t already tell from the photos themselves.  We left Sacramento at about 1:00 PM for Montara State Beach.  Kevin and Mira picked me and my assistant up in their car and we drove together.  I loved that because it created a […]
