Sarah & Jonathan | San Jose Woman’s Club Wedding

Our featured couple this week is Sarah & Jonathan.

Simran & Amita | San Jose Municipal Rose Garden Surprise Marriage Proposal

Simran had been planning his romantic Labor Day weekend suprise to his girlfriend Amita for more than a month, and contacted us after deciding on the San Jose Rose Garden. The Rose Garden is really great this time of year, as it’s covered with flowers of all colors in full bloom. The couple strolled through the garden taking lots of flower photos (Amita had actually gotten a new camera!) while we followed loosely behind. When the time came, under the soft sunset light, Simran got down on his knee and popped the question! Congrats you two — you’re too cute!

Julie & Eric | San Jose Doerr Park Family Photos

Eric’s mother was in town, so the family and I met up again in San Jose and had a family shoot at Doerr Park. Lillian is now 20 months old! She’s grown up so much since I last met her for her cake smash photo shoot! She’s such an adorable independent little lady – loves to run around, especially away from us, making that cute “come catch me!” face. Can’t wait to see you guys next year 😀
