josh & sarah | engagement

The week after Christmas it's a family tradition to head over to Palm Springs for some relaxation with my family. This year we had the privilege of meeting my brother's new girlfriend Sarah. Unbeknownst to Sarah, we all knew that Josh (aka "The Deaf Chef") would be proposing a few days later when they headed back to Sarah's hometown in NY.

Josh had asked me if I would mind taking some pre-engagment pictures of him and Sarah, and of course I was more than thrilled to do so! We were staying at an amazing time share right on a golf course, and surrounded by mountains. It was definitely the perfect setting for some fun and romantic images.

I've gotta say, Sarah is such a sweetheart and I'm thrilled my brother has found someone great to love and share his life with. The love between these two is just so apparent and they really are full of joy when they are together. Oh, and for anyone wondering... she said YES! Congrats you guys, and welcome to the family Sarah! I can't wait to make many more memories with you in the future.

If you'd like to check out Josh & Sarah's proposal photos you can do so on Cassi Claire's Website. Josh hired Cassi to be there and capture the proposal as it unfolded and to take some fun photos in NYC afterwards. Make sure you take a peek!

engagement session | atlanta ga

Last one, I promise! This was probably my favorite session we did while in Atlanta. We met this adorably in love couple at a vineyard that was... well... picture perfect! I was so in awe as I stood there looking at this picturesque setting and the love from this couple just added to the beauty. They were so much fun and pretty much up for anything which is always a treat with a session like this. I had a hard time narrowing it down, so here you go!

stacey & matt | engagement

This past weekend I was honored with the opportunity to go incognito and photograph my sister's engagement. I worked with her finance Matt to be in the right place at the right time and capture these unforgettable moments for them. She didn't even realize I was there... even after he pointed me out. I guess my hat and over-sized sweatshirt definitely did the trick. She was absolutely beaming after it happened and I was so excited to witness this special moment first hand. Congrats sis, and I can't wait until the big day!!!

And a close up of the gorgeous ring. Nice job Matt!
