I’m excited to photograph Yvonne & Miguel’s wedding at Jefferson Street Mansion next year! Yvonne is drawn to venues with a Bridgerton vibe, so it was a no brainer that we head to Filoli for their engagement photos. We also stopped by the Pulgas Water Temple as it’s just next door to Filoli.
Filoli & Pulgas Water Temple
Filoli and the Pulgas Water Temple make a perfect pair of locations for an engagement session:
- They’re super close to one another, meaning you won’t lose valuable time for transit
- Filoli especially offers a variety of backgrounds to choose from. The main house offers a beautiful exterior with red brick and lush greenery. The interior boasts a vintage vibe, while the outside areas like the olive tree grove and garden house offer complimentary colors and textures.
- The locations are beautiful year-round – though I do recommend autumn and spring for engagement photos due to more temperate weather.
It’s easy to see why I consistently recommend Filoli & Pulgas Water Temple as a top spot for engagement photos.
A Hybrid Session: Film & Digital
We incorporated both digital and film images for their engagement photos at Filoli, and I’m really happy with how these came out – here’s my favorites from the day, of Yvonne and Miguel enjoying their newly engaged season of life.
