adventure engagement session in point reyes


Roger + Marie's Adventure Engagement Session // Point Reyes National Seashore, California


A week before their Point Reyes engagement photos, Roger e-mailed me a little worried about the weather so I checked the forecast and sure enough, it was a 90% chance of rain the day of their session! I call myself an all-weather photographer, but I am adamant about making sure my clients are comfortable too so I gave him a list of options, one of which included sticking to the plans and possibly braving/embracing the weather if it did rain! They liked that idea, but thankfully we got lucky and the rain held off - shout out to California for being unpredictable! It ended up being perfect because the forecast and cloudy day scared off most of the tourists that normally flock to the Point Reyes lighthouse area on the weekends.

We walked all around the cliffs and grassy hills with them, marveling at the ocean and watching the extra-fluffy deer run around (if you've been to Point Reyes you know what I'm talking about). Roger and Marie had us cracking up, but not without many sweet moments where they seemed to forget we were there and just enjoyed each other. They chose Point Reyes because it's where they got engaged, which made exploring this sliver of the coast with them feel extra special. We had so much fun with this session and shot until the sun was completely gone. The photos turned out stunning - I hope you enjoy them!
