Clarice and Hadi’s Point Reyes engagement session was an absolute pleasure. I loved finally meeting these two in person and really having fun and exploring one of their favorite parts of California as we made their engagement photos.

The forecast threatened rain, but we decided to try our luck and see where it got us. If we got rained out, we’d reschedule. But sometimes grey skies and wet grass can make for dreamy, beautiful, moody images… and some incredible light. I am so happy we went ahead with the session as we did – I love these photos!

Clarice totally rocked her heels in this session. We brought easier to walk in shoes and she did wear those a bit, but mostly she strutted around in these dreamy heels. Love the classy look!

And then we found some blue bells and I stuck them in the flowers with the greenery. Love it!

After some time in the forest, we headed in to the field. There were deer grazing in the distance and clearing storm clouds. It was beautiful and quiet and we had the place to ourselves. I love these shots with the big, open sky. What a beautiful pale blue.
