Engagement Pictures

If you’ve followed my work for any portion of time, you’ll know I love shooting engagement photos at El Matador State Beach. It has some great rock formations, natural wildlife, and sunsets. But that also means it’s normally very busy, especially for photographers. I loved shooting Liz and Kyle’s engagement session here! They’re such a beautiful couple and I got to shoot their wedding photos recently, as well!

Engagement photography in LA and especially at El Matador Beach, is always unique. The weather and seasons change and with them, how a place looks. I’ve photographed engagement pictures several times at El Matador, but the sky never quite turned as well as it did for Emilee and Mike. And, of course, although they were nervous, I quickly discovered they were adorable together and I loved their engagement outfits.

I love doing engagement photography in Los Angeles. The weather is usually predictable, the locations are endless, and the people are unique and in love. These two were adorable. So easy to photograph. When I asked them about spots around Los Angeles that were significant to them, they mentioned a little village coffee shop where Zak proposed, and then a nearby beach-cliff area where they liked to hike. So we hit both, right around sunset, and got an amazing set of engagement photos!

I love helping plan surprise proposals in Yosemite National Park. Jackson contacted me about it months before, and we set up a plan. Originally, we were going to meet at Glacier Point at sunrise. I was going to be photographing my dog or my husband and just happen to turn my camera at the right moment. Unfortunately, Glacier closed early that year due to weather. I was on my way up there and we agreed to meet at Tunnel View instead. He sent me photos of the two of them so I could recognize them. I advised them on and out-of-the-way spot we could get away from the crowds. On the day of, it was going past their time and I didn’t see them. So I went down to the main area to find them. Jackson instantly recognized me and “happened” to ask about an “out-of-the-way, secluded spot” where they could watch the sunrise. So, still pretending to be a random person, I offered to take them up to my favorite spot. While we clambered over spots, I asked if I could take their photo. When we got to the spot, I set it up so she turned away, then when she turned back around, Jackson was down on one knee. She was so surprised!!

For those of you who have looked through my website, you know I don’t do a ton of downtown LA engagement photography. But when these two told me about their relationship and how they had grown there, it wasn’t even a question. We started off at the Walt Disney Concert Hall doing the first engagement photos, and then wandered downtown in a route I planned while on a film shoot earlier that month.
