Alisha and Greg knew they wanted a redwoods engagement session from the start, so we trekked out to Redwood Regional Park in Oakland. While most of the trails didn't have the forest vibe we wanted, we found a beautiful patch of redwoods growing just right next to the parking lot. With the sun just dipping beyond the horizon, Alisha and Greg were troopers as they held each other tight to keep each other warm. Check out the rest of their engagement session!

After shooting a cozy engagement session in SF, we figured we might as well enjoy the beauty of the city while we were there! So we drove on down to the coast to Ocean Beach to catch the sunset, running through the sea foam scattered on the coastline. And what a beautiful sunset it was, with the hues reflecting on the sand and the foam clouds drifting toward the shore.
When Sonia approached me and said that they wanted to do a San Francisco engagement session in a coffee shop, I was already in love. Sending over a plethora of beautiful coffee shop interiors over the course of week, we decided to shoot at The Mill. Sonia and Ankit - long distance lovers from SF to SD - were just so silly, poking fun at each other at every turn making for the greatest giggles and laughs. Here's a snapshot of their session!
We connected with Courtney & Jackson (who were recently engaged!) through a few online photography groups, and just had to meet up! Fellow travelers, photographers, boba addicts, Christ followers, and former long distance lovers, we immediately clicked with these this adorable couple. We laughed and told stories over coffee, reminiscing over college days, sharing our bucket list adventures, and looking ahead to what the future could hold. Who knows, next time you could see us all in Iceland!
We hung out with these two wonderful people in Yosemite this past weekend! Amelia had photographed us a few months ago, and we saw on her Instagram story that they were in Yosemite. A few texts later, we set out to meet up in the morning (after some sunrise photography of course) and had such a fun time with them. We spent the entire day just stopping whereever, just marveling at Yosemite's beauty. Photography them was such a dream - Amelia and Eli couldn't stop laughing and giggling. Before long, we all became quick friends, sharing pizza and cooking burritos in their campervan. What an adventure!

Third time's the charm! We had been to Yosemite twice now (you can check out our photos here, here, & here!), but we had yet to see the falls with actual water because of California's drought. Since it was a long weekend, we decided to give Yosemite another shot because we had just had a huge storm - it had even got Yosemite evacuated for a while. Plus, who can resist the winter wonderland and snow-covered mountains? Cholla Cactus Garden, Joshua Tree National Park, CA "Isn't it going to be cold?" everyone asked.
"Not compared to the negative degrees we camped through last year in Arizona and Utah," we constantly replied. As our new winter break tradition (in our efforts to combat high flight prices while still using vacation time to adventure somewhere new), we decided to take a road trip through the desert landscapes of California and Nevada. With our gear packed and our handy Pulse remote in hand, we caught the sunrises, sunsets, and cloudy days in between, while exploring my newfound love for couples photography and his newfound hobby for videography. Everyone always asks us, "Do you just have a third wheel photographer with you everywhere you go?" Nope - just our Pulse remote that allows us to not only take photos from our phone, but also set timelapses...long exposures...and more! So with our car piled high with equipment, we drove down for a week to take in that Southern California sunshine. Keith and I drove up to Calistoga this past weekend to photograph one of the most beautiful resorts we have ever seen - Triple S Ranch. This historic ranch had pieces of history salvaged in its every detail, from the fences to the shutters to the stools. It was a magnificent place - complete with a restored 1920's restaurant and bar, Victorian house, bungalows, infinity spa, and even a garden for true farm-to-table catering.
"Well, I can do 7 AM in the morning," I responded as Kim explained to me that her photographer had cancelled just prior to their scheduled photoshoot. So we drove up to the Los Gatos tree farms the next day and caught the early morning fog with this beautiful family!
