Oscar’s story was that they were going to head up to NorCal for his birthday weekend… but in reality, he had more special plans in mind — much more special!

It’s a wonderful spot for engagement photos, and even more so for Tim & Kim since the outdoors is something they enjoy together as a couple. [ read more … ]
