Cassandra and Trevor are tying the knot in 2016, but booked me a couple years in advance to make sure they got the date they wanted! They love the forest, especially the lush greenery found in the ferns and moss in the redwoods of Nisene Marks State Park in Aptos, California. This couple has a natural ease with each other – and once they got over that pesky camera guy hiding behind trees and under ferns, they really warmed up to their romantic engagement shoot in the forest. It was great spending time with them, especially since I probably won’t see them for another 16 months or so 🙁
Enjoy my favorite photos below – and please feel free to leave a comment or share!

- If you don’t think you have what it takes to look like one of the couples on this page – you’re wrong! With a little coaching and a couple shots of tequila (I jest…), you can get results just like all the other “normal” non-model people you see here. I’ve been shooting engaged couples for quite a few years, and I absolutely love it. It’s a challenge that I embrace – and let’s be honest, you two will be way more cooperative than a couple of cranky toddlers – right?
I love the ambience, the natural light down by the creek. Cassandra and Trevor were exploring along the river’s edge when I caught this candid moment.
Nice color and depth to the forest, romantic kissing moment.
Cassandra is so playful, they both just wanted to frolick around the redwoods all day!
Dramatic wide shot showing the tall redwoods and nice backlight through the trees.
These two fit so well together, you can feel the love!
I don’t usually edit forest photos in black and white, but some of these worked really well I think.
I love the receding pathway through the forest.
The backlit, moss-covered trees looked so cool here. Also, shooting through the ferns is fun!
The couple braved standing on some rocks in the creek so I could get some reflection shots.
Getting some cool shots of the rings in a hole of this redwood tree – I love the green moss.
Frolicking in the forest!
