Allie and Murph’s Charlotte engagement session was rooted in their everyday—quiet walks through the neighborhood, an appreciation for art, and playful connection. We started at SOCO Gallery during the Soil and Stars exhibit, then made our way to a nearby tennis court and finished with a relaxed picnic under the oaks. Captured on medium format film and digital, this session balances artful direction with candid ease.

Captured on medium format, 35mm and digital, Emma and Trevor wanted their engagement portraits to have a touch of nostalgia. We took them at Palmetto Islands County Park, a large conservation area that Trevor used to visit with his family as a child.

You should consider Carmel by the Sea engagement photos, as the town is truly unique. It sits on the sea about 2 hours south of San Francisco, north of the Big Sur area. The town itself has an old world sort of charm, and there are flowers, beautiful buildings and nearby beaches you can fit into a 1-2 hour shoot.
