California Engagement Photographer
Andy and Vicki’s Engagement session in Big Sur California in the rain was one of my favorite sessions this year. I absolutely love when couples just embrace the weather and have fun no matter what, because I’m all about the mood. From the rain to the sun shining through the clouds at sunset it was seriously breathtaking. A stormy sea is by far my favorite; the low mist on the mountains the cozy light, there’s just nothing better. Andy and Vicki are from the Bay Area and familiar with our crazy unpredictable weather and were such troopers. With a dress change and a dress Vicki thrifted for 20 dollars, Vicki totally embraced the mud and rainy weather.
If you’re wondering what to do for your engagement photos—you’re not alone.
Most couples come in saying:
“We want something natural… but we have no idea where to start.”
The truth is, the best engagement sessions aren’t built around poses.
They’re built around experiences.
At Flora Gibson Photography, I approach engagement sessions like a quiet story unfolding—something you step into, not perform.
Here are ideas that will help your photos feel like you.
