When Maddie & Nicky first reached out to inquire about engagement photos, I was absolutely thrilled because I went to high school with these two and got to watch their love grow from the beginning!
After they booked, we started to plan for their engagement session. I love to do this well before the wedding to give my couples plenty of time to have photos to celebrate the engagement, send save the dates, create decorations, etc.
They wanted The Oak Canyon Nature Reserve for their engagement session. We went on a summer afternoon and they were such good sports, even in the blistering California sun.
Even on super warm days, The Oak Canyon Nature Reserve is absolutely stunning. It is so cozy compared to other areas in Southern California. Nestled in the woods, covered by greenery and trees, with tons of space to explore. 🙂
Going back to how adorable these two are, they’ve been together for NINE whole years and are finally tying the knot. High school sweethearts turned husband and wife–could you ever ask for a more adorable love story?
I hope you all enjoy this California Nature Reserve engagement session as much as I do! 🙂
HUGS,
