Jamie and Matt are getting married at Ranch Soquel in a few months, but were smart to take advantage of my engagement photography service, recognizing it as not only a good chance to get to know me better, but as valuable practice for taking photos together. I truly believe that a 1-2 hour shoot in […]

Peggy and Roger met me in Capitola for their engagement/practice session. I like to start up near Shadowbrook restaurant and make our way towards downtown and the beach for the end, hitting up different locations along the way. The weather was spectacular, without wind, and these guys were totally receptive to my poling and prodding. […]

Some couples feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. Asking them to add a little PDA into the mix is almost uncalled for. Then there’s Stephanie and Kevin, who epitomize good chemistry and only reluctantly take their hands off each other 🙂 They warmed to my style of posed candids really well, and I think […]

This is the second engagement session I’ve had at Vasona park that involved motorcycles in some way another – must be all that open space that just begs for large props! Ryan is a self-professed gearhead, and was happy to see my roll up in my modified mustang – it helps when us guys speak […]

If you’ve ever been to Uvas Canyon County Park, you know just how far off the beaten path it is. While technically in Morgan Hill, it’s at least 40 minutes from that town. But man it is totally worth the drive! I met Lilly and Chris at the state park on the first sunny day […]

We had so much fun with our first engagement shoot at Panther Beach we decided to do it AGAIN! Ok, so most brides that hire me are usually content with just one engagement session before their big day, but Samantha says she never gets photos of the two of them – and of course I’m […]

I got to try out a new photo location when Jason and Kelley showed me “3 Mile” near their house. It’s 3 miles from downtown Santa Cruz, hence the oh-so-clever name. It’s got railroad tracks, a field of brussels sprouts, cliffs, a little lake, some awesome rock formations, and of course the ocean and beach. […]

I met Gaurav through my Yelp profile, he originally wanted me to take photos of his actual proposal. I was thinking, cool, I will finally be hired to to Schmauch-arazzi work! But alas, plans changed – I guess the pressure was too great. However, his fiancee said “yes” this morning so I made my way […]
