We drove all the way down to Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia to find the perfect cliff-top view for Karah & Ian’s engagement session. Together, we hiked out to the edge and watched the sunset over the mountains. By the time we finished, we had to hike half the trail in the dark! Good thing we brought flashlights just in case.

Cindy & Ryan’s first date for engagement photos was rained out, but I’m almost glad it happened, because the day of their shoot was magical! The golf course let us borrow a few golf carts to explore in. During the shoot, they popped champagne and had a picnic right at sunset.

As most of you know, I've been out west traveling and exploring the state & national parks within driving distance from Vegas. One of my goals was to get some beautiful couple's sessions in while I was out there. Peyton & Levi were kind enough to wake up at the crack of dawn to meet me for a sunrise session right outside of Red Rock Canyon. When we got there, the sun still wasn't over the horizon. 

proposal tips from a professional photographer

Proposing is one of the most exhilarating and nerve-wracking things a person will ever do. All the planning and scheming leading up to this moment may have caused you overlook a few important things (understandably!). Here are a few tips on how to create the best proposal ever!

After the question is popped and celebrations have been had, the next thing you should think about is getting your engagement photos taken! Engagement photos have so many benefits - check out a few of them below.

Brittany & Sefako got married, but haven't had the opportunity to celebrate with friends and family, as they've been busy focusing on med school. Now that they are finishing up, the time has come to throw a party, and that means making some epic save-the-dates!

Sarah and Jon wanted photos with the city in the background, but we ended up with so much more.  The sunset that night rivaled that on any beach!  It was incredible.  They also brought their two adorable six-month old puppies.

Taylor and Christian decided on Oakland for their engagement shoot.  We traveled all over, from inside the Cathedral of Learning, to Phipps, to the columns, to Panther Hollow.  We hiked trails, enjoyed the sunshine, and had a ton of fun.
