City
Skylines, rooftops, romantic city streets. Our favorite engagements in the heart of a city.
Omair and Christy are already sweet and gentle people to begin with, but together is where they are truly their best selves. Together is where they’re most connected. When they’re in each other’s arms, it’s oh-so-obvious just how much these two settle in, breathe deeper, and soak in the moment. Christy and Omair fell in
For Sierra, she always had a mental vision in her head of what life would look like. And to be honest… this wasn’t exactly it. It was SO. MUCH. BETTER. When she met Paul, her life flourished into a beautiful garden of deeply rich, intensely joyful moments… and the life they’ve built together goes beyond
Kyle and Andrew were friends for a year and a half working together as recruiters at the same company in Austin, and Kyle couldn’t help but crush on him. Andrew was sweet, kind, gentle, and totally hilarious. But Kyle fell in love the moment Andrew met Franklin, her skittish black kitty that she had rescued
Zlatka is a gorgeous girl that likes to research her options. When making a decision, she will look into every possibility and exhaust the research in order to make her final choice.

They talked at the cafe over hot chocolate for two hours. It was the first time Anne saw Josh’s humor, when she saw his heart and how we was a pillar of strength for those around him. And it was the first time Josh experienced Anne’s wonder, how she looks at the world with open eyes and
She trumps everything for him. Adrian is a go-getter personality with a ton of demands on his time and his days, but when it comes to Valerie, she’s the top. The world slows down for this gorgeous girl, and when he’s looking at her, you can see that there is nothing else in his atmosphere
Chris and Sarah have had us photograph them for their anniversary every January since we documented their wedding two years ago. (See their seriously sweet Anniversary Session last year, when Chris surprised her at their First Look spot! #allthefeels) These two don’t have us photograph them just because they love getting dressed up. It’s not just
Jason and Kathy met while tutoring general chemistry at UC Berkeley (yes – these two are super smart). And since they both were from San Diego, they decided to drive down together one time for the holidays. A drive which turned into an eight hour road trip in which Kathy discovered three things about Jason: (1) he’s a crazy
Oh it’s a good day on the bloggy-blog when we get to share some seriously gorgeous medium format film! The oh-so-sweet Nick and Cathy wanted us to capture their date night themed engagement session with some classic film, which if I didn’t love these two already, this sealed the deal! This film makes their already swoon-worthy story
Watching Nick and Cathy together is like wearing your favorite pair of jeans – it just fits. These two have a connection that is so obviously built on such deep friendship, that it feels like they’ve already been together for DECADES. Like they’ve never been apart… Their favorite Saturday morning is hiking then brunch. Their
Are you ready for this?? I mean really ready for this??? Because Part Two of Emily and Christopher’s magical cherry blossom engagement session in Washington D.C. just may make your heart explode with all of the lovelovelovelovelove… We flew out to Emily and Christopher’s home city on the east coast to photograph their engagement session in Baltimore, and Emily
