Molly + Brandon’s Hawk Ranch engagement session was nothing short of AMAZING! These two live in San Diego and traveled up to Murrieta for their
Hawk Ranch Engagement Session! This was a styled engagement session, which included hair and makeup, rentals, florals, and a gorgeous dress! I think my FAVORITE part of this session was the pink suit provided by Friar Tux! It doesn’t hurt that Brandon looks pretty dang good in this color – in fact I think I need to see more pink tuxes in my future clients’ photos! 🙂

We started in the gorgeous evening light at Hawk Ranch where these two proved they were just the cutest! Lots of laughter and genuine smiles – my favorite!

Rickety Swank provided a gorgeous rental set-up! Lots of couples are incorporating details like these into their sessions and cocktail hours. It really added a luxe feel to the shoot! Teresa (the owner of Rickety Swank) works closely with couples to get a feel for their style and engagement session or wedding color palette to come up with a complimentary look and feel. Molly and Brandon were so thrilled with this set-up!

More cuteness from Molly and Brandon! I’m all about helping couples with the “posing” part of the session because I know how awkward it can feel! I asked Molly to put her hand on Brandon’s chin and she started laughing because, “I’m always doing that!” Unprompted laughter is my favorite 🙂

This gorgeous bouquet was provided by Stacey at Storybook Weddings & Events. I love the wildflower look to it – of course it smelled amazing! A perfect complement to the look at this

The light was leaving the sky so we ended the session with a casual lean on this arch. Cool vibes!
Thanks for an amazing Murrieta engagement session, Molly + Brandon!
