Darin planned the sweetest surprise for Keagan, and I got to be part of it! 🤍

These two met in high school, grew closer over AP Physics study sessions and track practices, and have been together for seven and a half years. He even asked her on their first date during a run together!

They traveled all the way from Minnesota to the redwoods, where Darin planned to ask Keagan to marry him during a quiet walk through the forest.
But the proposal wasn’t the only surprise he had planned!

Weeks before their trip, Darin and I had been talking about the vision for their engagement session. Without Keagan knowing, he secretly shipped multiple dresses to my house for her to choose from for the session!
Within a couple hours after he proposed, they came straight to my house to pick up the packages. What I didn’t realize was that Keagan had absolutely no idea who I was or why they were there! Haha!

I handed her the packages, and as soon as she opened one and saw a dress, she started putting the pieces together. There was another surprise waiting for her—a photoshoot in the redwoods!

Darin had thought through so many little details to make this experience special for her. From the unique forest-green sapphire engagement ring he chose to the dresses and the surprise photoshoot, it was all so incredibly thoughtful.

And getting to photograph these two, just one day after they got engaged, was such a sweet experience!
What a beautiful beginning to this next chapter of their story. 🤍

They brought Lord of the Rings to Sue-meg State Park. She looked like Éowyn, and together they took the winding path down to the ocean. 🤍

Love Lord of the Rings? You can bring a little of that magic to your elopement, too.

They brought Lord of the Rings to Sue-meg State Park. She dressed like Éowyn, and together they took the winding path down to the ocean to say their vows. 🤍

If I could go back and relive this day, I would!!

I was very honest with Paul and Wesha that I had never photographed a wedding as elaborate as theirs. But they believed in me and chose me as their photographer. I couldn’t have been more thrilled—or more nervous!

A year earlier, I had dreamed of photographing an Indian wedding at a luxury venue. Then this day happened. Every corner of Hummingbird Nest was breathtaking, and there I was, getting to photograph it all. Even the rainiest day of the year couldn’t take away from the beauty of this day.

Paul and Wesha wanted very posed portraits, but they also wanted the in-between moments—the real emotion and joy. Capturing her connection with her father was especially important to Wesha, and that stayed with me throughout the day.

And Wesha… the most gorgeous bride.

Exactly one year ago, this dream of mine came true. Happy anniversary, Anwesha Kundu Brown and Paul Brown! A day I will forever look back on fondly. 🤍
