This was such a playful and sweet engagement session with Nina and Kyle at Oakland CA Lake Merritt! We strolled around Lake Merritt and had so much fun! They wanted their engagement session to be somewhere where they spend a lot of time together. They live within walking distance of Lake Merritt and thought it would be the perfect location to capture their engagement session! The sun was shining and it was such a warm and clear day in the Bay Area!

Kyle + Nina’s Playful Oakland CA Lake Merritt Engagement Session

I love when couples choose a place for their engagement that has special meaning to them. It adds uniqueness to your photos and gives even more meaning behind them! Their chemistry was so light-hearted and fun! It was so easy just walking around and talking about anything and documenting their love along the way.

I always encourage couples to find a photographer that they can just hang out with because it creates a relaxed environment for the couple to just be themselves. That’s exactly how this engagement session went! We then took some more sweet photos near and in front of the historic Grand Lake Theatre! Kyle and Nina are getting married in the Spring of 2023, and I’m looking forward to capturing their wedding day too! They’ll be having their wedding in the Santa Cruz mountains at Kennolyn’s.
