A Film-Filled Engagement at Rodeo Beach & Marin Headlands


Michelle & Uriel knew exactly what they wanted for their engagement session—tons of 35mm film photos with a documentary, organic feel. And let me tell you, I was so excited to make that happen for them! We met up at Rodeo Beach in Marin County, a dreamy spot for an adventurous session, and the vibe was effortless from the start. They weren’t afraid to get a little wet and sandy, letting the ocean breeze (and the occasional wave) shape the moments naturally. Every frame felt raw, real, and filled with their love for each other and the outdoors.

Endless Views in the Marin Headlands


After some playful moments at the beach, we hiked up to one of my favorite secret spots in the Marin Headlands. This spot is filled with sweeping views of San Francisco, golden rolling hills, and one of the most stunning sunsets i've seen in a while. As the sun dipped lower, Michelle & Uriel soaked in the moment, wrapped up in each other, while I captured it all on film. It was one of those evenings that felt cinematic in the best way possible.
