Yesenia + Daniel

YESENIA + DANIEL:CARMEL, CA STEWARTS COVE

What an absolutely beautiful day this turned out to be. When yesenia and daniel said they wanted to have their engagement session on a beach, we knew just the place to take them. There are very few places in northern california that have prettier beaches than carmel by the sea. With all the rain we'd been having then, we decided to meet up on a Tuesday evening because it was the only day we could see that showed sunny skies. When the day of the session did arrive the weather still called for sun but to our surprise it started raining about half-way down to Carmel. Bummer right? Although we were bummed about the rain, We stayed in good spirits and prayed for a break in the clouds. And just like always, the man up stairs came through for us. as you can see, the 90 mins we spent shooting on the beach were rain drop free. Everything turned out perfect!! we all had such a good time laughing and being silly out at breath taking Stewart's Cove. These two crazy kids were nothing but fun. check out some of their awesome engagement photos below. 

Oh and we can't forget about this one... we weren't kidding when we said we all had fun. LOL!! 

Emily + Garrett

Emily + Garrett: Stockton, CA Yokuts Trail

Not too long ago we sat down with emily, her mom, & her sister (who is doubling as her M.O.H for the wedding) over coffee to discuss her wedding day details. It was clear just how excited she was to marry this man. It was obvious from the way she smiled as she went over the details of her big day. during the consult we discussed taking engagement photos and where to shoot them. When emily explained how she likes the rustic out door look in photos, we knew just the place to have the session. on a nice sunny February evening we headed out to yokuts trails in stockton, ca and had an amazing time. Emily's soft boho outfit had perfect contrast with the rugged out door trails and she simply stunned in it. The love these two have for each other just shines right through in their shots. we can not wait to capture their wedding this September at the Lincoln farmhouse. Check out a few of emily and garrett's beautiful photos from their engagement session below.
