the week before thanksgiving, i drove out to the oaks at heavenly for sam and etienne's engagement session and i already can't wait to be back next december! it was the absolute best for portraits because we had many different backdrops right by the venue as well as a short golf cart ride away from incredible views on a hill top. we loved adventuring around and capturing photos for their special day! i love it when we can shoot engagement sessions where the couple is getting married. it's the absolute best!


Getting to know Sam and Etienne during their shoot was so much fun and seeing their sweet and fun relationship has me so excited to celebrate with them. Etienne and Sam were so fun to be around and had each other and me laughing the entire time. They were down for anything and fully trusted me in capturing this time for them. I can't take all the credit because they rocked their session and were so themselves, truly shows in their pictures. I loved getting to know them and learning about their story. They have known each other for 2 years and were just engaged on Aug 2021, surrounded by their family. Etienne took Sam on all the dates they had been on and finished off at a family BBQ, where he popped the questions. HOW SWEET!


Thank you so much for trusting me with such a special time and precious memories, I'm honored! And I cannot wait to see ya'll again next year for your wedding at The Oaks at Heavenly.


Enjoy some of my faves from their engagement session!
