Oakland and the East Bay are home to many different varieties of beauty - Aurina & Hanyong chose the mighty redwoods as their engagement portrait setting. To our surprise, their location gave us so much more of the areas beauty than just these ancient trees.

While they were self-proclaimed "awkward" in front of the camera, they definitely seemed like naturals to us!

As with many of our couples, Aurina & Hanyong wanted to include their dogs as a part of their engagement photos. We love capturing dogs on camera, even the most challenging rascals! Eska and Koji enjoyed their time in front of the camera as much as we loved meeting them both.

We're thrilled to capture these two lovebirds again in September as they get married!
