Narely & Mike’s Yosemite Engagement Session

There’s something truly special about Yosemite — the way the towering cliffs make you feel small, the stillness of the forest, and the ever-changing skies that seem to tell their own story. On a breathtakingly foggy morning, I had the joy of capturing Narely & Mike’s engagement session surrounded by some of the most iconic views in the world: Half Dome and El Capitan.

The fog rolled in like a soft blanket, wrapping the valley in quiet magic. It added a dreamlike quality to every photo — like the whole park was holding its breath just for them. Narely & Mike were completely in the moment, laughing together, wrapped in each other’s arms, and taking in the beauty around them.

Their love felt steady and grounded, the kind that doesn’t need grand gestures to shine. Whether we were standing on the edge of a meadow or looking up in awe at the granite giants surrounding us, every frame was filled with warmth, tenderness, and a deep sense of connection.

We wandered through fog-kissed trails, stopped to take in the view of El Capitan as it slowly emerged from the mist, and ended with Half Dome peeking through the clouds behind them — a quiet reminder of just how incredible this place is, and how powerful love can feel in the middle of it all.

Narely & Mike, thank you for trusting me to capture such a beautiful chapter of your story. Your love — gentle, grounded, and full of joy — was the perfect match for Yosemite’s wild beauty.

There’s something magical about letting go of perfection and embracing the wild — and that’s exactly what Vanessa and Matt did during their unforgettable “trash the dress” session in Point Reyes.

The dramatic cliffs, rolling hills, and crashing waves set the stage for one of the most emotional and freeing photo sessions I’ve ever captured.

Matt never took his eyes off her — completely in the moment, grounded in their love and their laughter.
