When Arron reached out to me about coordinating a surprise proposal at PaZa Winery, I knew it would be special. But nothing could have prepared me for just how special or joyful this moment in their journey would be! Arron had every detail planned perfectly; both of their families in on the surprise, a candle-lit photo op in the gazebo, a gorgeous charcuterie spread from Grazing Gouda, the perfect backdrop at PaZa Winery, and even a decoy jacket to hide his dress clothes!

After celebrating with their friends and family, the three of us snuck off for some just-engaged photos. The love between Arron and Jasmine is so sweet, and it was such an honor to capture the beginning of a new chapter for them!

I’m a wife, mom, Gryffindor, and photographer based in Northern California. I’m obsessed with all stages of Happily Ever After and capturing the in-between of people loving each other. I believe that the true magic of photography coexists with the posing; it’s in the forehead kisses, the giggles over unsaid jokes, and the blissful feeling of you & your partner cuddling your newborn baby on your couch; it’s in the way your dad looks at you when he sees you in your wedding dress, and the way your daughter laughs when you tickle her tummy. I’m currently booking for 2022 + 2023 and would LOVE to chat more- be sure to reach out on my contact page or come say hi on Instagram!
