Engagement Session in Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland CA: Shana & Alan

Grateful as we are in California to have rain and lots of it, after many years in drought, I was very fortunate to have planned this engagement session with Shana & Alan one sunny afternoon, during a glorious break from wet days. We went to the woods in the Oakland hills of Joaquin Miller Park. Honestly it was my first time really exploring but it wont be my last. I think this is a time when I can step back and let the pictures speak for themselves. You will clearly see that Shana & Alan have a sweet and deep connection. I felt honored to have the opportunity to meander through the woods with them one beautiful afternoon and be a part of it.

Can’t wait to photograph Shana & Alan’s wedding in September of this year!

So freaking excited for these two! They kept it sweet and simple with a private elopement in San Francisco's golden gate park and they also had an enormous amount of luck when they planned to get married on Wednesday when we had a break in the rain here in the SF Bay Area. It was such a joy to capture this moment ❤️
