It’s always an honor when another photographer asks me to photograph their engagement and wedding. Most recently, I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Natalie & Sean to photograph their engagement shoot, ranging from a redwood forest to the Berkeley Botanical Gardens, to the streets of Oakland. The botanical gardens are a beautiful preserve with a lush environment that has vegetation zones from all over the world and I can see why Sean & Natalie love it there and chose it to be the focus of our session.
It’s been great getting to know these two, as they are each so bright and do good and creative work in the world. Natalie works for the The Trust for Public Land, a US nonprofit organization that conserves land and creates parks for human enjoyment and benefit and Sean is a photographer/videographer who shoots and directs documentary film projects with Corduroy Media. Mostly, Natalie & Sean enjoy each other a lot (you can tell from the photos) and we just had a lot of fun exploring around that afternoon.
