A Northern California Engagement Filled with Magic, Laughter, and Love
Five years of friendship. Five years of laughter, inside jokes, and unforgettable memories. And now—forever.
Matthew and Hailey’s love story is the kind that feels like a fairytale. Sweet, sincere, and full of moments that belong on the big screen. From the start, there’s been something effortless and genuine about them—something that just works. It all came full circle when Matthew proposed outside their favorite place—Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. And yes, it was raining. Just like a scene straight out of a rom-com. Totally romantic. Totally them.
For their Northern California engagement session, we wanted a peaceful, light-filled location to reflect who they are together—calm, connected, and so clearly in love. Surrounded by tall trees and golden light, Hailey looked absolutely radiant—like a real-life Disney princess. Her dark hair, soft smile, and natural grace gave off total Snow White energy. And Matthew? He couldn’t stop smiling. You could just feel how in love he’s been with her for years.
What made this engagement session so special wasn’t just how stunning they looked—it was how they are together. They’re best friends at the core. Supportive. Joyful. Full of kindness and quiet strength. The way they laugh together, the way they naturally fall into step, the way they hold each other—it’s the kind of love that doesn’t need big gestures. It just shines through.
From soft glances to playful touches, every photo from this session felt effortless. They made it easy to capture the heart of their relationship. That’s what I love most about engagement photography—getting to witness and preserve that real, unfiltered connection before the wedding day. It’s a moment to pause and celebrate the love that brought them here.
As a Northern California wedding and engagement photographer, these are the stories I live for. It’s not just about pretty photos—it’s about people, and the way love shows up in the little things. With Matthew and Hailey, that love is everywhere. You see it in the way they look at each other. You feel it in the way they interact. It’s steady. It’s fun. And it’s beautifully true.
Matthew and Hailey, thank you for letting me be part of this chapter in your story. Photographing your engagement session was an absolute joy, and I’m beyond excited to see what’s next for you both. Your love is something special, and I feel lucky to have been the one to capture it.
