Vivian and Michael have been a breeze to work with, and I'm so happy that our paths crossed before their wedding day. Their adventure photoshoot was so much fun! We scrambled on rocks, hiked around, and took some photos. I personally loved hearing more about their story and seeing their interaction as a couple.

Their engagement session was scheduled during a very wild time for South Lake Tahoe and the surrounding areas. State Parks and National Forest started to close weeks before our scheduled date, due to the wildfires. We were unsure if our original location, Emerald Bay State Park, would be an option. We had a plan-b/c, but thankfully the state park lifted their mandatory closure just in time for Vivian and Micheals engagement session because sometimes things do work out :) Shout out to the staff at the California Filming Commission for approving our permit in time. You guys rock!

A little bit Vivian and Michael: "We have been together since January 2019 and met in San Francisco on a dating app. Our favorite hobby is traveling. We spent most of the lockdown during the pandemic in Lake Tahoe, where we DTR and became engaged!"
