Sunrise Couple to Proposal Session in Yosemite
Last summer Kelly and Nathan booked me. They said they were going to be visiting California from Chicago and were looking for a couples photo session at Yosemite National Park. About a month ago, Nathan told me he was going to propose in Yosemite. My excitement grew and I was even more stoked to capture an important moment in their lives. Here are some of those photographs leading up to that proposal moment.
Winter Anniversary Photo Shoot in Yosemite
Both Sean and Vanessa reside in the Central Valley and decided to get away for the first weekend of 2020. Sean is a police officer and Vanessa is a middle school teacher and aspiring photographer who recently dived into the photography world. They met each other at a Starbucks after matching with each other on an online dating website. Since then, they got married and celebrated their five year anniversary by unplugging in Yosemite, having their own snowball fight, and allowing me to photograph them while we discussed education, movies, children, being adventurous, and zucchinis.

Outdoor Summer Wedding in Hayward
A friend of mine was positioned to photograph this wedding and asked me if I could help her out. I agreed and drove up to Hayward, CA to help her out. When I met Jason at his house, he shared with me how much traveling and hiking him and, his soon to be wife, Cassie do. The house was packed with traveling and hiking gear and had many photographs and posters that related to the outdoors. It was only fitting that their wedding was an outdoor wedding.
Central Valley Backyard Wedding
Pat and Tara gave me an opportunity to photograph their short backyard wedding in Modesto, CA. Tara and I had discussed the details prior to their wedding day and she told me that the ceremony would be less than 10 minutes long. Well those 10 minutes were well worth capturing for my first backyard wedding!
Central Valley Orchards Wedding
Talk about being madly in love, both Chris and Zineb were meant for each other. They held their wedding in the orchards in the Central Valley of California. Overall a fun, laid back, wedding!
