Photographing a marriage proposal is one of my favorite things to do. I love seeing the genuine joy & surprise. Hearing the story of how they met and all the planning that went into keeping everything a secret is just so fun. When Zach reached out asking me if I would photograph him proposing to Emily, I was so excited to help.

Matt & Sarah met in college at the University of Dayton, where they will be tying the knot later this year. For their engagement session, they wanted to have their photos taken in Cincinnati- their current home city. The locations we used helped to tell the story and create a certain vibe in the photos.

Engagement sessions are so wonderful. For me, it’s the perfect way to get to know a couple- not just their story, but how they relate to one another. M & B are amazing together. These two lovebirds decided to have their engagement session in Yellow Springs, Ohio. There are so many options for different looks just in Yellow Springs.

Clifton Gorge is one of my favorite places to get outside in Dayton, Ohio. It has gorgeous hiking trails and lots of incredible landscapes. The woods there are so peaceful. I was so excited when Nikki & Alex decided they wanted to do their engagement photos somewhere in Yellow Springs, where they like to hike. This adorable engagement session in the woods at Clifton Gorge was so much fun.

Wishing everyone a safe and magical Halloween this year! This gorgeous engagement was photographed at Peltzer Winery in Temecula, and we totally stopped by their farm and pumpkin patch for just a few shots! They were so adorable!

Yesterday's engagement session at Peltzer Farms in Temecula was just incredible. This authentic farm style venue was an absolute dream come true! There were so many great spots for photos, it was a fantastic time with so many beautiful moments.

This lovely little engagement session was so much fun to photograph. N + C decided to have their engagement session at Torrey Pines, a fantastic cliffside park in north county San Diego. There are so many fantastic spots to photograph throughout Torrey Pines, and these two arrived at their engagement session ready for adventure, and the resulting photographs are absolute magic.

ScheduleThis morning was so beautiful- these two are absolutely amazing together, and the tide stayed out just long enough for us to get some great shots down on the rocks at the bottom of Sunset Cliffs. It was altogether perfect, and I can't wait to share more from this engagement session at the cliffs! 

It's easy to see why Windansea beach is at the top of my list of favorite places to photograph couples for their engagement in all of San Diego. It's one of the most dramatic bits of coastline in southern California, with its graceful sweeping cliffs and clean sandy beaches. In fact, the beach is often completely covered by water unless the tide is low. We scheduled our session for early on a weekday morning so that we could take advantage of the light and gorgeous landscape before it got too crowded. We lucked into an especially low tide, which left much of the sand exposed on this usually rocky beach.
