Kara and Max’s adorable engagement session has been featured on Wed Over Heels! I was at WPPI when I was notified of the post and what better time than when I was surrounded by thousands of other creative and talented photographers! Thank you to the editors over at Wed Over Heels for the love!

Bowei and I have known each other since our days at Carnegie Mellon University and both of us have gone on to do drastically different things than we were doing when we first graduated. Bowei’s started a few companies before and now he’s moved onto the World Startup Report with the amazing mission to meet, identify and document startup ecosystems all over the world! Let’s all show him some support during his travels!
There are way too many favorites to share from Kara and Max’s engagement session at Stanford! I had so much fun during our session and both of them were so photogenic! I absolutely loved the fun moments when they were goofing off between shots. Kara and Max are both creative writers working at video game companies so it was perfect that they shared books they had written and that there was a word wall at the Graduate School of Business.
Each of the books they’re holding were written by one of them (Surviving High School by Max and Eastridge Academy School for Adventurers by Kara and her friend). Kara just recently completed a Kickstarter for School for Adventurers which did exceptionally well. If you enjoy reading fantasy novels, show them some love on their Facebook page!

We had originally planned to shoot Jake and Jen’s engagement session at the beautiful Muir Beach, where Jake had proposed to Jen. Unfortunately due to the weather forecast predicting a 90% chance of rain that day, we looked into some other options. It broke my heart knowing that we couldn’t go back and revisit such a beautiful place that held such important memories for them.
Due to scheduling conflicts, we were unable to move the session and this would be the last day before their wedding that they would be available. We decided to meet in the city, brave whatever the weather would impose on us and make sure to get some great shots for them to share with friends and family. I came fully prepared to deal with the rain, and even get some nice shots in the rain. And it turns out that… it didn’t rain. AT ALL. How lucky were we?!
Jake and Jen love bowling and own their own gear so we also stopped by a bowling alley to capture their love of the game. Jake even had a Superman t-shirt on so we had him transform into his secret identity! They’re also big gamers, having made their super awesome save the date announcement with RPGMaker and even getting little competitive over a game of Pacman we found at the bowling alley!
Since they’re a long distance couple, they each have a stuffed animal that represents the other so they’re never alone. They named them Jake 2 and Jen 2! How cute is that? I had to get a picture of them together with their stuffed counterparts.
Here are some favorites from our time together, enjoy!
Thank you Lulu! Can’t wait for their wedding in less than a month!
Great pictures. May God bless them with a lifetime of love and lots of children.
