Hammersky Vineyards Surprise Proposal

Thursday, February 17, 2022

When it comes to dropping the knee, there’s no better plan than a Hammersky Vineyards Surprise Proposal in beautiful Paso Robles, CA.

Yuri reached out to me a few weeks before his plan would come to fruition, and so we arranged a stealthy scheme for me to candidly capture his surprise proposal with his partner, Ashley…and yeah, she was pretty surprised lol! I hid in plain sight at the vineyard with my cameras hidden away, then when I saw Ashley & Yuri walking up to the iconic oak tree pictured above, I knew it was time to rush up the hill to capture the big moment. Everything was AMAZING and we couldn’t have had better conditions! So stoked for these two and their new lives together. <3

Happy engagement season! 🥰

I love getting to connect with couples in this way before their wedding day. Having time to chat, get comfortable in front of the camera and enjoy stunning sunset views…it’s always such a joy getting to capture these moments over a fun adventure together. 😊

Here’s a couple of recent engagement sessions from this winter season so far! Much love everyone. 💕

A little late to the new year’s reflections bandwagon as always, but dude 2024 was absolutely bonkers. I don’t know how I got through it, but I’m proud of myself for once. It’s been a delicate balancing act of keeping my head down, hustling hard & enjoying the fruits of my labor whenever a new achievement unlocked. I’ve long been observant to the cycles of good karma & blessings that manifest when you commit to your healing, learn your lessons, practice good communication + boundaries, feel your feelings, transmute your pain into art & spread love every day. While more subtly noticed when I was younger, these positive ripples are fully realized for me now and I am so grateful to be finally living my best life lately. That’s not to say it’s been an easy year though. Probably the hardest year ever tbh. Duality is wild lol. I worked my booty off everyday, wearing so many hats, capturing 37 weddings (new record!), dozens of airbnbs and other shoots, while putting basically all my free time into a budding music career. I also healed from a brutal two-year flare-up of ulcerative colitis (shout-out @cedarssinai), got off of mind-dulling anxiety medication, got my ADHD under better control after finally getting diagnosed last year & somehow made it out alive in this all-time busy time. There’s no sign of things slowing down either, but I feel confident in my ability to face the challenges that will inevitably come this year. I believe life never throws anything that you can’t overcome until it’s your time to leave this earth. So keep learning your lessons, keep making your art, keep in touch with community, tell your people you love them, tell yourself how loved you are & never ever give up on the ride my friends. The best is yet to come I promise. Love you all. Thank you so much for supporting me all these years. Happy New Year. 😘💕🌈

There’s really nothing quite like the fairytale vibes of @chateaunoland ~ always so happy when I get to work out here. Even better when I have the honor of documenting a beautiful wedding for a sweet, gracious (and fun!) couple like A&J. So stoked on how these turned out, and can’t wait to get the final gallery wrapped up soon! Congrats again 😊💕✨

Grateful for so much lately - too much for me to put into an Instagram post tbh. 😅

But I will say how grateful I am to K&C for inviting me to capture their sweet elopement on 11/11 ✨

We were due for rain all day, but the universe had other plans and blessed us up with the most beautiful winter sunset. Ahhh, moments like these…magic. 😌

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season filled with beauty and quality time with loved ones. Much love. 💗

Nassim and Ben’s wedding at Ragged Point Inn was pure magic. With the breathtaking Big Sur cliffs and ocean as their backdrop, their day was filled with love, laughter, and beautiful cultural traditions. From the elegant sofreh aghd to the joyous dancing to the gorgeously sunny weather, every moment was wrapped in beauty and the kind of love that rekindles the soul. Here’s to a lifetime as vibrant as the coast that witnessed their vows. 🌊✨🥂 #BigSurWedding #RaggedPointInn #SofrehAghd #PersianWedding #CaliforniaWeddingPhotographer #WeddingTeaser #SLOtography

Shoutout to this wonderful vendor fam as well (def missing some peeps here) - couldn’t do any of this without you! ❤️

Tangled up in you… 🌿💕✨

Sweet & mellow newlywed couples session with Ashley & Dylan after they tied the knot in OC the day before! They wanted green colors in their pics and, well, ain’t much green in the wild this time of year so we roamed around the Leaning Pine Arboretum at @calpoly instead. 😍

We connected instantly over our love of raves & dance music and had a lovely little walk thru these beautiful gardens. Gorgeous greenery & good vibes all around. I feel so blessed to have such a fun career where I get to meet such sweet & inspiring people. Congrats again, Ashley & Dylan! 🥰

Sarah & Niels def passed the #slocal vibe check - y’all are a fabulous couple! Thanks for having me! 😎🙌🏻

Such a fun time strolling thru @downtownslo (shout out @fremontslo + @buonatavolaslo + @booboorecords) as we captured couples portraits, before they later commemorated their love with a sweet lil elopement at the SLO Courthouse. We ultimately made our way to @novorestaurant for a lovely dinner party with the fam. I don’t shoot downtown often enough so it was inspiring finding new creative scenes to play with!

Thanks again you two cuties! 💕
