Steely Nash & Shane - A Love Story - Los Altos Engagement Photographer

I'm just going to warn you now that this may be one of my most picture heavy blog posts in history. Fair warning!!

I met Steely back in our college days in an algebra class. I'm pretty sure we bonded over quadratic equations, or maybe it was the lack of understanding them. Either way, we became friends, and I will never forget her singing "Single Ladies" and me just being completely taken back. (Does that date me? Yeah, probably.) I'm 100% sure I told her that she was going to be famous for her voice, and I meant every word!

We eventually lost touch, but remained friends on Facebook where I've kind of stalked her musical journey and admired her from a distance. This girl has some talent, you guys!! She performs all over the Bay Area. Trust me when I say, go to an event. Her voice will move you. 

Anyway... I was so excited to catch up with her and her husband over some special photos. We had such a great time in one of the most beautiful locations. As you can see from the pictures, these two are just meant to be together. There is a spark between them that is so apparent in real life and in the photos. I asked them to really connect with each other in front of the camera. I can imagine how hard it would be to act like I wasn't there, but these two just made it look so easy.

This was truly one of my most favorite sessions to date as they gave me so much creative liberty. Thank you for being so awesome Steely & Shane! I can't wait to see you both again!

Rachael & Sebastian - A gorgeous engagement

Rachael & Sebastian need an award for being such an amazing couple to photograph. Not only were they troopers hiking up the side of a hill to a giant oak tree, but they were so much fun to get to know, and absolutely gorgeous to boot! They're getting married in Boston in just a few weeks, and I feel so honored that they chose me to do their engagement photos.

ps, can we all just tell Sebastian what an amazing job he did picking out Rachael's ring?

Kristian & Richard - A Military Engagement - Moss Landing, Ca

Kristian contacted me to do a couple's session with her & her husband Richard since they are both in the Army and are stationed in different states.  These newly weds needed some photos to have while they are so far apart from each other right now! As you can see, this super sweet couple were incredibly playful, and so very in love!

Moss Landing was the perfect place for these two to spend a slice of their short weekend together. We decided on an early morning session and we had the entire beach to ourselves! Minus a few surfers who were brave enough to go in the water! But it was beautiful Northern California beach weather.

Thanks for a terrific & fun session, you two! And thank you both for your service!
