Tara and Jesse had the most romantic engagement session in the full blooming almond orchard.  They toasted to their engagement and to their quickly approaching wedding date.  They danced and walked throughout the glistening orchard hand in hand.  They came very prepared for their session as their love and smiles radiated.  You can view more engagement sessions here.

How They Met

Tara and Jesse officially met through a dating app.  When they saw each other’s pictures, they realized that they had seen each other in passing for the past ten years at work.  Jesse had been working the night shift for the past eight years while Tara had been working the day shift, so their interactions had been minimal.  Once they realized that they already slightly knew each other, they decided to get together to go on their first date at a local brewery.

The Proposal

Fun story!  At the time Tara contacted me, Jesse had not actually proposed yet!  He had purchased the diamond, and he wanted Tara to help in the design of her ring.  This led to them gradually starting to discuss their wedding plans and ended up selecting a wedding date. One evening Jesse invited Tara on a date to their favorite restaurant, 5th Street Steakhouse. That is where he then got on his knee and asked Tara to marry him! She said yes!

Tara and Jesse, congratulations, you two are officially professionals!  You will rock your wedding day!  I had a wonderful time with the two of you at your engagement session.  You two are so much fun together, and the love you share glowed when you locked eyes and smiled at each other.  I am so happy for the two of you and the journey that awaits before you.  I cannot wait to see where your love story takes you.  I am so excited for you to see some of my many favorites from your engagement session in the almond blossoms and on the campus of California State University, Chico.
