Cory + Sahar - Engagement - Forest Sunset Angelus Oaks California by Ulices Del Toro

I cannot express my excitement for this couple enough. The first time I officially met Cory + Sahar was at this engagement session and we really hit it off! We had the best time exploring the San Gorgonio Wilderness up near Angelus Oaks Ca. It felt like we had the mountain to ourselves, we played in the street, found some cabins in the forest and shot way past sunset. Had the best time and seriously cannot wait for their wedding which I don’t want to spoil now, but I will hint, it may or may not take place at the top of a mountain somewhere….

Irvin + Jocelyn - Engagement - Foggy Mountain Adventure in Lake Arrowhead by Ulices Del Toro

Here in Southern California, fog isn’t something you can always plan for, so when we do get a little fog, we know it’s going to be a fun session. Irvin and Jocelyn were pretty excited about it too, they knew it was going to make for some pretty awesome photos here near Lake Arrowhead! It also helped that these two are also one of the cutest couples! They were forest ready with their Redwings tied high, we ran around and had a blast just laughing and watching these two fall for each other all over again.

Sam + Alexa - Engagement - Mountain Sunset in Forest Falls California by Ulices Del Toro

We absolutely love photographing engagement sessions in the mountains. Sam + Alexa knew that and were so down to take the drive to one of my favorite places in Forest Falls. We love being in our element and creating some epic portraits, and the mountains really brings that out in us. We had so much fun hiking around with these two, getting to know their story and taking some amazing photos with them.

Luis + Sierra - Engagement - Angeles Oaks Ca by Ulices Del Toro

You know it’s going to be an awesome shoot when you pull up to your session, and everything is covered in snow! This was also the first time we met Luis and Sierra in person, and I’m pretty sure we hit it off because we spent the rest of the day laughing and having exploring the Angelus Oaks forest together!

Their pup Waffles also came with them, he loved running around the snow and playing with his humans! This was such a fun shoot from beginning to end. Their engagement session was a blast and we cannot wait for their big day!

Felipe + Iris - Engagement - Twin Peaks Ca. by Ulices Del Toro

When I first sat down to get to know Felipe and Iris, it was clear to me that these two are a perfect pair, and their enthusiasm for their big day got me just as excited even though they had just started planning everything out. We decided to head up to Twin Peaks for their engagement session, and things could not have gone any better!

Felipe is a huge Green Bay Packers fan, and we joked about having a Green Bay wedding! Rightfully so we had to do a few photos sporting some of his gear, and I am almost certain he will be sporting some green and yellow at his wedding. We strolled around the woods, found some epic spots for photos and had an amazing time watching these two fall in love all over again. 

When we reached the peak of the mountain, the fog rolled in. It got a little windy, and a little cold, but it did not phase either Felipe or Iris and it made for some pretty magical photos.
