UC Davis Arboretum Engagement | Julia & AJ

When we first met Julia & AJ on zoom we knew right away that we wanted to photographed their love story. There was an instant connection with these two. The excitement to celebrate their wedding day is what every wedding photographer hopes for. Especially when the couple really values photography. One thing that replays in my mind over again is when Julia expressed to us that we are worth her investment and how she values the art of photography.

Photography to us isn’t just pretty photos. Honestly, it’s way more than just that. To have timeless images means memories that will last a lifetime. Images that speaks more than words. There’s always beautiful emotions during these events and we’re so honored to capture them time and time again for all our couples.

Julia and AJ are one of the calmest people we’ve ever met. Something about their energy really makes me at ease. Our conversations and all the laughs shared together leaves n doubt that their wedding day will be just as beautiful as their engagement session. I just love the relationships we build with our couples. Connection and friendship is a huge value for us and we’re happy to find that in the work we do.

Not only were their energy beautiful, they came dressed perfectly. Talk about dress to impress, these two looked absolutely stunning. Julia was so prepared, she even brought two pair of heels to make sure they matched her outfit. We love a detailed bride because we all know that I can be a hard Type A at times. At least, that what Matt tells me everyday, haha. (But I won’t deny it because I know it’s true.) We absolutely love the lush greenery in your photos and I’m glad that was your #1 request for location. All the little details and thought you put into your engagement photos proves that your wedding day will be amazing. We’re excited to see both of your vision come to life and to celebrate you two in October at Belle Vie Vineyard! The countdown begins. Wooooo!
