My relationship with this lovely bride-to-be began very early of this year when she contacted me regarding engagement photos. Sheyanne, a Texas girl and her fiance Jamie, a Scottish lad, were incredible subjects. Their mutual love for life and each other was very easily captured through photography on a beautifully foggy day in January. Truly magical images resulted from that day - ones that they, and I, have since showcased.
Engagement sessions are a wonderful way to capture the essence of everyday love. The anticipation and romance is always very high, and is communicated naturally through the photographs. These sessions are generally an hour long, and they can take place at some really amazing locations. Even though I am able to suggest places, I love to hear the input of each couple because they usually have somewhere that is very significant to them already in mind. Most of the couples I work with choose to travel to San Francisco or to a local spot within the Napa Valley. The ideal time to do engagement sessions is on a weekday when wineries aren't packed with people, ensuring a more intimate moment.
Aaron called us to plan a candid proposal photography session on the 14th of June at the O’Brien Estate here in Napa Valley. With careful planning from the location’s tasting room manager, David Corkett, it was a huge success. Aaron and Meghan are a beautiful couple who set the tone for future proposal photography sessions coming this year.

Under the impression she had won this trip, had chosen the date, and upgraded them to a suite, she was already on cloud nine. Who knew cloud ten existed? Surrounded by lush vineyards underneath a bright blue sky, there could not have been a better place for this couple to begin the rest of their life together.

Brix is absolutely spectacular for wedding photography and from a selfish perspective, this location has everything I could possibly ask for as a Napa wedding photographer. Last week I had a fantastic engagement session at Brix with the cutest couple who are expecting their first child together. So in a way, it was a combined engagement and pregnancy session for Emily and Cory. We had so much fun together, and the photographs turned out to be so beautiful.
