Golden Gate Canyon State Park Fall Engagement Photos

Jul 31

Lexi and Cal’s engagement session at Golden Gate Canyon State Park felt like stepping into a little autumn dream. The colors were soft and golden, the air had that cozy crispness that only fall can bring, and the mountain views honestly made it hard to put my camera down. These two brought such a lighthearted energy to the day. It never once felt posed or forced. Instead, it was full of laughter, playful moments, and the kind of quiet sweetness that makes my job feel like magic. We ended the evening by the lake, where everything slowed down for just a second, and I got to capture the kind of connection that already has me counting down the days until their wedding!

Storytelling Through Candid Photography at Golden Gate Canyon

Capturing moments like these is exactly why I fell in love with photography in the first place. There’s something about the quiet magic of a place like Golden Gate Canyon State Park that just invites you to slow down and soak it all in. And that’s exactly what Lexi and Cal did. They didn’t need to “perform” for the camera—every laugh, every glance, every playful step through the leaves felt so genuine. My heart is in capturing those imperfectly perfect moments, the kind that would normally slip away unnoticed if not for a camera there to catch them. These are the memories that deserve to be preserved: real, full of life, and wrapped in all the emotion that makes this season of your love story so unforgettable. I couldn’t have been more honored to document this milestone for these two!

Love Note from Lexi

"We recently worked with Amandha for our engagement photos, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we met, she made us feel at ease, which was so important for us since we’re not used to being in front of the camera. Amandha guided us with poses while also capturing candid moments that really felt like “us.” The quality of the photos exceeded our expectations—they’re vibrant, beautifully composed, and perfectly capture the joy of the day!! She was professional, punctual, and incredibly creative! We’re so excited to work with Amandha again for our wedding in four months! If the engagement session is any indication, we’re confident the wedding photos will be absolutely stunning. Highly, HIGHLY recommend Amandha to anyone looking for someone who is not only talented but also a joy to work with :)"
