Engagement Proposal Photoshoot San Jose⎜Surabhi and Romil

Guadalupe River Trail

When Romil reached out to me to be the photographer for his surprise engagement proposal, I was over the moon to capture these photos!  
He wanted to pop the question to Surabhi next to a bench on the Guadalupe River Trail in San Jose that was super meaningful to them. 
The engagement photos came out beautifully.  The Bay Area is chock full of so many beautiful locations for photos. You don’t always need the best, most popular photography spots, just give me some greenery, a beautiful sunset, happy people and I’ll give you awesome photos!
Romil planned out everything perfectly; sent me detailed maps, photos/videos of the bench area and even shared his location as they were approaching (anyone who knows me knows I’m a super organized person so all that was 👌👌)  While Romil persuaded Surabhi to go for a walk Geo and I “hid in plain sight” near the bench and were primed to swoop in and capture the moment.  
The sun was also perfect and added some amazing flares to the pics! Congratulations Surabhi and Romil!  Thank you for making us a part of this!  Here are some photos from their session 💕

Last week we went out to Jewel Lake off the Wildcat creek trail at Tilden Park in Berkeley for some family photos. Little Cora was not feeling the photo vibe and just wanted to enjoy the nature! But I managed to sneak some pics of her cute little face in between! My favorite pics are the last three 🤣 Thank you Alice and Stuart for your support and having us photograph your family again this year! 💕
