Engagements & Proposals

This San Clemente sunrise engagement session was the perfect way to wrap up a year…even if sunrise at the beach in December is insanely cold! Thankfully M & H were down with my secret plans to laugh hysterically and run amuck up and down the beach like crazy people to warm up. A Idyllwild Wedding […]

All the floral garden vibes for this Los Angeles Arboretum spring engagement! G &M wanted a spring engagement to match their spring wedding and the idea of a garden really appealed to them. I sent them galleries of botanical gardens I’ve used before with the disclaimer of possibly being too early or too late for […]

Idyllwild Magic It isn’t often I get to use all my favorite spots but that was definitely the case for this Idyllwild summer engagement.
