Engagement & proposal photographer · California
You said yes. Now let's celebrate it.
Time to jump into each other's arms and act like no one is watching. An engagement session is your chance to soak up this season together, get comfy in front of my camera, and walk into your wedding day already feeling like a pro.
Why an engagement session
Your wedding day practice run.
On your wedding day, portrait time goes by so fast. An engagement session gives us a slow, relaxed date together first. You get to learn how I work, I get to learn what makes you two laugh, and by the time you're walking down the aisle, my camera feels like an old friend.
And honestly? This season is worth remembering all on its own. The giddy, newly engaged, can't stop looking at the ring feeling is such a gift from God. Let's capture it before the planning gets busy.

Planning to pop the question?
Let me be your secret keeper.
You only get to ask once, and you'll want to see their face when you do. Tell me your plan and I'll help with the spot and the timing, stay out of sight until the big moment, and then stick around for a little celebration session together.
Inquire for the 1 hour session and let me know it's a proposal so we can keep everything hush hush.

Can we share our photos on social media?
Yes, please! Just skip the filters and edits so my work is shown the way it was meant to be. A tag is always so appreciated.

Every image gets light retouching. Bigger edits take more time and can be added on.

You can! Just pick a quality lab that doesn't auto color correct. Or order prints right from your gallery and skip the guesswork.
