Proposal Outside of Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay
A former client of mine reached out to me about a month ago and asked if I was available to photograph his friend proposing to his girlfriend. I was unavailable at that time since it was so last minute. However, I asked if I could help in any other way. I helped his friend find other photographers, but due to California having a terrible storm that week, the date for the proposal was rescheduled for a later date. A few weeks later, I received a text message. It was my former client’s friend. He asked again if I could help him out by photographing him propose to his girlfriend. I looked at my calendar and saw that I was available, so I agreed to do it. After a few more weeks of texting and calling each other, we had the proposal planned out. Below you can find some of the photographs taken right outside of Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay and the proposal.
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.

Monterey Coast Elopement
Travis and Leanna decided to officially tied the knot in Monterey, CA instead of their hometown of Modesto, CA. I don’t blame them one bit for that decision.
We met up near Fisherman’s Wharf and walked around to get some early photographs in while waiting on the officiant. Both Travis and Leanna were rocking a bride and groom shirt to let everyone know that they were ready to tie the knot. After capturing a few shots, they changed clothes, and we headed to the location of their ceremony where they were going to say both of their “I dos.”
Foggy & Coastal Stylized Elopement in Point Reyes
Drove 3 hours to capture these two love birds for their stylized elopement session on the California coast. They are one of the most laid back couples that I have met and they are definitely madly in love with each other!
