Engagements & Couples — LAKE TAHOE & YOSEMITE
Engagement photos isn’t a performance. It’s an hour or two, somewhere quiet, just the two of you — and a chance to see what working together actually feels like.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Nothing here is staged.
We pick a place that feels like you — a beach at golden hour, a quiet trail, somewhere with no one else around — and let the time move at its own pace. No rigid posing, no shot list to follow. Just two people, together, the way you actually are.
Some couples come to me already engaged, wanting something to hold onto before the wedding. Others come here first — to see how I work, before deciding if I’m the one they want documenting their elopement.
ENGAGEMENTS & COUPLES
An hour or two, somewhere that feels like you.
Most couples tell me they're awkward in front of a camera. I give a little direction at the start, then step back and let the two of you walk, talk, and wander. Choose the time that fits, in Lake Tahoe or Yosemite, and add film if you want some frames made slowly.

A few couples who started here.
Katelyn & Nick
Sunrise Couples Session at Cave Rock, Lake Tahoe
No posing, no direction — just two people and the morning light.
Gilberto & Jackie
Sunset Proposal at Taft Point, Yosemite
7,500 feet above the valley, right as the sun went down.
Marcus & Dyana
Sunrise Proposal at Tunnel View, Yosemite
A quiet question, asked as the first light hit El Capitan.
NOT READY TO ELOPE YET?
That’s exactly what this is for.
Some couples start here. A couples session is a quiet way to see how I work — no performance, no posing, just you, before the bigger day comes.
When you're ready for the day itself, I plan and photograph elopements in the same places.
