This engagement session was a very exciting one because I got to photograph when the cherry blossoms are in season!! Kim and David really wanted to photograph when the sakura was in full bloom so they checked Hakone Gardens three times in one week to make sure it was perfect for our photoshoot. I’m thankful they were able to do this because the foliage looks absolutely amazing! This is my first time photographing at Hakone Garden and it was truly magical with these two. I felt like I was in Japan for a moment but knowing that this is in our very own Bay Area is such a treat. We then went to my favorite venue, Villa Montalvo and captured amazing golden light during the evening. What a fun evening it was with these two and I’m honored they chose me to photograph this special session for them. Congratulations, Kim and David!
