When Christin and Jordan booked their engagement photoshoot, I knew we were going to create something special. Northern California is known for its breathtaking landscapes, and the fall season only adds to the magic. The vibrant colors of the leaves, the crisp air, and the mountains in the distance all came together perfectly to set the stage for their photoshoot. The golden hour light bathed everything in a warm, soft glow, making it the ideal time to capture such an important moment in their lives. Even though it was a bit windy that day, the moments I captured through my lens felt nothing short of picture perfect.
One of the things I love most about shooting in Northern California during fall is how natural light enhances every scene. There’s something about the warm tones of autumn sunlight that makes everything feel more intimate and timeless. Christin and Jordan’s love really shone through that golden hour glow, and I couldn’t have asked for a more stunning backdrop. The mountains in the distance provided the perfect sense of depth, giving their engagement photos a sense of grandeur that felt both romantic and peaceful.
What made this engagement photoshoot even more unique was their choice of footwear: Vans. It was a small detail, but it added such an unexpected edge to their look. While many couples go for formal shoes or classic heels for engagement photos, Christin and Jordan chose to keep it cool and casual with their Vans, and it worked so well with the relaxed, yet meaningful vibe of their shoot. It’s moments like these that make me appreciate the individuality of every couple. The photos are a perfect reflection of who they are, and those personal touches, like their sneakers, really made the session feel authentic.
Staying true to color is always a priority for me in every photoshoot. I believe in the power of natural light, and in fall, the rich hues of the landscape make it even more important to capture the true essence of the colors around us. During their Northern California fall engagement photoshoot, the colors of the trees, the earth, and the sky blended beautifully, and I made sure every shot stayed true to that natural vibrancy. I love when the photos not only tell the story of the couple’s love but also honor the beauty of the environment they’re in.
Overall, Christin and Jordan’s fall engagement photoshoot was a true reflection of their relationship — full of warmth, authenticity, and just the right amount of edge. From the golden hour glow to the stunning Northern California landscape, everything aligned perfectly to create a set of photos they will cherish forever. I feel incredibly lucky to have been a part of this special moment and to have captured the love between these two. It’s moments like this that remind me why I love being a photographer — every engagement session is a chance to freeze time and capture something truly unforgettable.
