Nikki & Paul - Engagement Shoot

As a wedding photographer, there's nothing better than shooting a couple that's on the same wavelength you are.  It relaxes everyone, the laughs keeps coming, and you can really capture who your couple is and the absolute joy and love they're experiencing.  And that's exactly what we got at Nikki and Paul's engagement shoot - the real Nikki and Paul!

We started off the day at Point Lobos State Reserve, on the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean, then headed down the road to the Carmel River State Beach for some champagne on the sand.  Point Lobos holds a special place in my own heart because that's where Josh proposed to me, and it was great to visit again.

After a short walk through the pine forest and along the cliffs of Point Lobos, we headed on over for some champagne on the beach.

The ring Paul gave to Nikki has been passed down through generations, and was truly gorgeous!
