I had the most amazing outdoor engagement session with Rebekah & Reed at Sequoia National Park, CA! Let me tell you all about it! Before their big wedding day, I always suggest having an engagement session. It’s such a fun way for us to get to know each other better and for the couple to see my shooting and editing style. Rebekah & Reed were a bit shy at first, but that totally changed as we went along! We had our session at the breathtaking Sequoia National Park, CA. The views were absolutely phenomenal! We couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous everything was. The towering trees, the fresh mountain air it was like a dream!

Rebekah & Reed’s Outdoor Engagement Session

Rebekah & Reed started out a bit shy in front of the camera, but with some fun prompts, they quickly got comfortable. We were constantly on the move, capturing candid moments and having a blast. It was so much fun to see them loosen up and enjoy the session! Their wedding is next year, and OMG, you guys, Rebekah mentioned how excited the engagement shoot made her for the actual wedding day! They were so easygoing and just went with the flow. Even though the park was super busy that day, and we had to wait in long lines just to park, they didn’t show any irritation at all. Their patience and positive vibes were truly amazing!

I absolutely cannot wait to capture their wedding next year! This engagement session was such a wonderful experience, and I know their wedding will be just as incredible. Rebekah & Reed are the best!! Ready for me to capture your amazing engagement session next? Head to my contact page so we can chat about the ideas you have.

Love Letter From The Beautiful Couple

Catrease is an amazing photographer! My fiancé and I recently had our engagement photo session in sequoia national park. The weekend we originally chose had a snow storm (and we were not prepared with winter clothes in May), but Catrease was so kind and professional about us wanting to reschedule for a couple weeks later. We made the right decision because our pictures were beautiful. We couldn’t be happier! This was our first time having professional pictures of us taken, but Catrease made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera. She knew how to pose us and where to take us for the best shots. When we got our engagement pictures, it was so hard to choose a favorite for our save the date. I spent about four hours in awe of what she captured. I loved them so much I had to order prints of every single picture she took, and I’m still struggling to decide which of pictures to hang. We are so excited for Catrease to capture our wedding next year. If you have the chance, BOOK HER!!! You will not be disappointed 🙂
