Couples and Engagement Sessions

Engagement sessions are some of our favorites! Every couple has their own unique story of how they met, their dates, nights by the campfire, road trips, and wonderful times spent at the beach or in the mountains. We help capture these beautiful moments so they can be cherished in your memory or shared with your family and loved ones. Together, we can discuss the details of your upcoming romantic photoshoot and bring your vision to life in the best way possible!

Engagement Session at your favorite beach 

On the beach, you can take a variety of shots — from romantic walks along the shore to fun games with water or a kite. Waves, sunlight, wind, and the movement of water add dynamism to the photos, making them more lively and interesting. You can choose your favorite beach where you often spend time together, or you can ask us for a list of beaches we recommend for photoshoots.

ENGAGEMENT SESSION AT SANTA CRUZ BEACH BOARDWALK

It's a great idea to have an engagement photoshoot at the Beach Boardwalk. You don't need to worry about how to pose, what to do, or where to stand. You're simply enjoying your time together, and we capture those moments on camera. The photos turn out to be very emotional and vibrant, and you get to have a date with each other at the same time. 

Engagement Session at your favorite Park 

 A photoshoot in the park allows you to capture genuine moments and create beautiful memories in a relaxed and natural setting. Depending on the time of year, parks can offer different unique backdrops — from blooming spring trees to autumn leaves, which add seasonal charm to the photos. In the park, you can have a picnic, take a walk, or even play some active games (basketball, volleyball, tennis), which adds dynamism and liveliness to the photographs. You can choose a park where you often spend time together, or ask us for a list of parks where you can take beautiful pictures.

Engagement session at Muir Woods national monument, CA

Muir Woods National Monument is a scenic preserve of ancient old-growth forests located in Marin County, California, about 11 miles north of San Francisco. This preserve is famous for its giant coast redwoods, which are among the tallest and oldest trees on Earth.

The magnificent nature of Muir Woods, with its giant redwoods, green mosses, and ferns, along with the interplay of light and shadow, creates the atmosphere of an enchanted forest and a romantic mood, making it perfect for pre-wedding photography. Due to the dense vegetation, the light in the forest becomes soft and diffused, resulting in beautifully captured images.
