Capturing Unforgettable Moments: The Proposal & The Journey

A proposal is more than just a moment; it’s the beginning of a lifetime.
I had the honor of documenting engagement across two iconic California locations.

Day 1: A Romantic TIme at Villa Colibri, Napa

We began the journey at the breathtaking Villa Colibri in Napa Valley. Surrounded by rolling vineyards, the atmosphere was intimate and perfect for the big question. These photos capture the raw, unfiltered joy of the moment they decided on forever

Day 2: An Epic Adventure Along the Big Sur Coast

For the second day, we embraced the rugged beauty of the California coast. We traveled from Point Lobos, to th the architectural marvel of Bixby Bridge and next to the historic charm of Mission Basilica, concluding our adventure on the pristine beaches of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Two days allowed us the freedom to explore, play, and capture the natural chemistry of this incredible couple.

Why Choose a Multi-Day Engagement Session

A two-day session isn't just about photos; it's about comfort. By the second day, the camera disappears. You stop posing and start living. It gives us the time to capture both the emotional weight of your proposal and the playful, cinematic energy of your journey together.
