Sacramento Engagement Photography – Emily & James

Meet Emily and James!

Location shoots in Davis don’t get rained out often, but it was pouring when Emily and James’ engagement session was first planned to happen in December. So we picked the next available date for all of us and it worked out perfectly!

It seems like no UC Davis engagement session would be complete without something taken at the Death Star. We should all thank the UC Regents for providing such an awesome location!

But even the most awesome location isn’t complete without an awesome couple like James and Emily!

We were walking across the quad and noticed this sort of surreal atmosphere created apparently by moisture left over from the rain and recent Tule fog episode in Davis. It just seemed like the fantastic cork oaks lining the quad would be a perfect spot to get a shot of Emily and James strolling.

This next shot was taken at one of Tianna and Matthew’s favorite restaurants. It was closed and all the outdoor tables were locked up, but we really liked the colors of the facade and wanted to get a shot that showed off the entryway.

These next few images were taken at the UC Davis Death Star building.

I’ve shot at this outdoor hallway before, but never with just this concept. Somehow, Tianna and Matthew just seemed perfect to take a stroll along this wallkway in the Death Star building.

Now we are back above ground. Tianna and Matthew.

After the Death Star, we hit the Arboretum.

Davis Photography – Amery & David

Meet Amery and David!

When I met up with Amery and David to start their session they said they wanted to make sure and hit two places – the Death Star (aka the UC Davis Social Sciences and Humanities Building) and the UC Davis Arboretum. Great places to shoot!

Here’s Amery inside the Death Star.

Here’s David at the Arboretum.

It was overcast, almost foggy. Some people don’t like to shoot on cloudy days, I love to shoot anytime!!

David and Amery.

There’s this cool red brick wall downtown Davis, unfortunately it faces South and it’s usually baking in the hot Davis sun. But on an overcast day it’s a great place to shoot!

The Christmas decorations are up downtown.

I love this store in the next shot where they change out a giant poster advertisement according to the season. Currently, they have a guy using his hands as a megaphone. We thought it would be fun to mimic the look.

I really loved the light on the Arboretum as Amery and David took a stroll.
