HE DIDN’T TELL ME HE WAS PROPOSING until literally a minute before 😱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me tell you what happened... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ C + J booked an epic couples session in the Sand Dunes to commemorate their new home together (yay for buying a house!). J grew up going to the dunes with his family and C grew to love watching him bike so it was a no brainer location when we started planning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They had two outfits planned because C wanted some majorly dramatic shots with J’s bike, but also wanted some sweeter/romantic photos. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When we went to get them into their second outfit J pulls me aside and says... as soon as we go back out there I am going to propose. Can you make that happen? 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In a matter of minutes - while C got changed - we made a plan to have him surprise her with a ring. She was facing me and he was behind her with his arm around her shoulder (like a bear hug from behind kinda moment). I told her to look the opposite direction and she did. He started to pull away from her after a couple seconds so of course she turned to see why he was moving away from what I directed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This was her reaction... complete surprise and so much joy. We had spent the first hour of the shoot doing editorial shots and that all changed after he proposed. She could not stop smiling and crying 😭❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Got to love a proposal story, amiright? I want to know - how did your man propose? 🤩💕💍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sanddune #glamisengagement #glamissanddune #sanddunes #sanddunesnationalpark #glamis #glamisdunes #glamissanddunes #desertengagement #desertphotographer #pismo #pismodunes #pismobeach #greatsanddunes #greatsanddunesnationalpark #greatsanddunesnps #imperialsanddunes #oregondunes #coralsanddunes #socalengagementphotographer #reagansuittphotos #socalengagement #utahengagementphotographer #utahengagements #utahcouplesphotographer

Don't you love a good champagne pop? They are SO FUN. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But until I recently finished getting Leave No Trace Aware certified, I didn't recognize the effects it could have on the ecosystem around you. While it may not seem like a huge impact if "you're the only one doing it", social media today has created a culture of copying without thinking. Meaning your "one time" photo turns into hundreds of photos after. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A champagne pop can... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏻 Cause you to lose the cork somewhere around you - which means that trash is now somewhere wildlife could try to eat. 👉🏻 Coat a sensitive ecosystem with around you with champagne - which can effect its ability to survive. 👉🏻 The scent of sugar can attract wildlife to the area you eloped in which means future travelers there may have an unwanted encounter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you still want the fun of a pop, we can substitute champagne for sparkling water or fill a reusable confetti popper with leaf confetti made from leaves in the area you elope! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Huge thanks to @adventureinstead @annigraham @thefoxes @leavenotrace for educating the photography world about how we can steward the lands we all love to adventure in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photographer + Creative Director @reagansuitt Model Bride @the.modernmama Model Groom @the.modernfather Hair @tanyamariehair MUA @calliea88 Florals @cultivatedbyfaith Dress @lulusweddings Suit @stitchandtie ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #joshuatreeelopement #joshuatreeleopementphotographer #joshuatreeengagement #joshuatreeweddingphotographer #joshuatreewedding #joshuatreenationalpark #joshuatrees #joshuatreeairbnb #saguaroelopement #desertelopementphotographer

I’m stuck somewhere between I wish it was fall but I’m glad I can still go to the beach 🤪 I was talking to my sweet friend @morganelizabethphotos this morning and she was sharing how it is FREAKING SNOWING where she lives. It baffles me to think of living in snow during October when it is still warm enough for beach bonfires and summer nights. Yeah, I know it's technically fall but I don't think SoCal got the memo. Some days I really wish I could wear my cozy sweaters and some days I just wish I was at the beach. I want to know - are you happy it's still freaking hot in Cali??? #reagansuittphotos #LAweddingphotographer #losangelesweddingphotographer #malibuweddingphotographer #malibuwedding #SanDiegoWeddingPhotographer #SDweddingphotographer #SanDiegoBride #SDwedding #coastalengagement #beachweddingphotographer #SantaYnezWeddingPhotographer #SantaBarbaraWeddingPhotographer #Venturawedding #showthereal #pictime_realmoments #pictime_us #wildhairandhappyhearts

Gray + Bo tie the knot in less than two weeks so of course I had to pull out a photo from their engagement session and tell a story... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are a lot of things that go into being a photographer. More than simply bringing a camera and shooting. You need to remember SD cards, charged batteries, and MUSIC. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I try to have music playing whenever possible for my sessions because let's be real... silence can be AWKWARD, especially with a camera shoved in your face. These two were my first engagement session for people I didn't know somehow in real life - meaning I wanted to make a good impression (plus - they booked me for their wedding LOL) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well... we spent the second half of their session on the beach they grew up going to. I turn up Peanut Butter Jelly by Galantis to get us all pumped and dancing. The nerves start shaking off and we are really grooving - the beat is about to drop and... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ MY SPEAKER FREAKING DIED 😭😭😭 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I tried not to show how mortified I was but honestly felt so bad that I got them dancing wildly IN PUBLIC then the music shut off before the beat dropped. We finished out the session but I vowed to never forget to charge my batteries again. 🤣🤣🤣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Luckily that didn't make them change their minds for their wedding day LOL - but still one of my most embarrassing session moments thus far. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #destinationphotographer #makeadventure #reagansuittphotos #beachengagement #beachphotography #destinationelopementphotographer #justalittleloveinspo #southerncalifornia #travelingphotographer #joshuatree #californiaphotographer #elopement #homedecorinspiration #bohohome #homemaking #homedecor #midmodhomeinspo #californiaweddingphotographer #losangelesblogger #malibuelopement #socalbride #mountainwedding #malibu #malibuphotographer #venturabride #venturawedding #realtalk #sandiegowedding #losangelesweddingphotographer

DOUG AND I ARE GOING TO PLAY HANDBALL FOR DATE NIGHT NEXT WEEK AND I AM SO EXCITED!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've realized that this weird year has brought a lot of unexpected monotony into my days... I sleep at home, work at home, hang out after work at home then repeat. Finding ways to spice up our life has been really frustrating tbh because so many things we love are closed. RIP escape rooms and movie theaters. This has forced a creativity into our date nights that has been hella fun 🤣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We've painted, picnicd, bonfired, at home safaried and next week we are going back to our roots at the playground and playing a sick game of handball. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Date night during a pandemic has reminded me the joys of simplicity and the imagination that comes from boredom... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So tell me... what date nights have you been doing?? ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #reagansuittphotos #sanmoritzwedding sanmoritzlodge #lakegregoryweddings #lakegregoryengagement #crestlineca #bigbearwedding #bigbearweddingphotographer #bigbearengagement #idyllwild #idyllwildwedding #idyllwildca #idyllwildweddingphotographer #bigbearlake #bigbearmountain #mountainbride #mountainwedding #mountainweddingphotographer #forestwedding #forestweddings #forestweddingvenue #pinerosecabinswedding #pinerosecabins #mountainelopement #socalelopement #californiaelopement #californiaelopementphotographer #californiabride #lakearrowheadca #lakearrowheadwedding #lakearrowheadvillage

Just a little taste of this last weekend - This wedding was so incredibly special for so many reasons. ✨ I’ve known these two since seventeen grade and yes they were dating back then too ✨ they were my first paid couples session when I did their engagement photos a little over a year ago. ✨ they booked me for their wedding before I had ever shot one - literally ZERO portfolio work to show them It was said in a hundred different ways last night but these two truly are some of the kindest, realest and supportive friends to know. They believe in others and in each other in a way that is hard to find now a days. After having to replan their wedding THREE times, they finally tied the knot. Cheers to the newlyweds. It was an honor to document your celebration of the century ✨✨✨ • • • #Reagansuittphotos #socalelopement #socalbride #oakglen #forestelopement #mountainelopement #datingadvice #christiandating #oakglennaturepreserve #oakglenappleorchards #oakglenwedding #rileysfarm #oakglenpumpkinpatch #oakglencalifornia #oakglenweddingphotographer #oakglenengagement #oakglencouplessession #oakglenweddings #oakglenweddingvenue #oakglenphotographer

Anyone else love a dirty wedding dress??? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Something about the contrast between the beauty/femininity of a wedding gown and the dark dust from an adventure just makes me freaking giddy - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That's why I LOVE a trash the dress session after your wedding day - especially if you didn't get the outdoor adventure you really wanted! A trash the dress session is exactly what it sounds like (except really not that dramatic - a dry cleaning can still do a lot). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After your real wedding, you and your man go off into the wilderness (beach, mountains, desert, WHERE EVER) with a photographer and do the most epic bridal shoot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's called trash the dress because you may roll on the floor, get in the water, stomp through mud, get in a tree and so much more. It's a time to get the photos that feel like an elopement even if an elopement wasn't the right choice for you special day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So tell me... would you trash the dress??? 😉 Suit @stitchandtie Earrings @fromdusttoclay ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #reagansuittphotos #pnwelopement #pnwelopementphotographer #oregonelopement #oregonelopementphotographer #cannonbeachwedding #cannonbeach #elopealaska #alaskaelopement #PNWbride #bendelopement #bendoregon #rockymountainnationalpark #rockymountainelopement #emeraldlakewedding #idahoelopement #mountainelopement #mountainelopementphotographer #elopementdolomites #mountainphotographer #nationalparkelopement #nationalparkphotograhper #nationalparkphotographer #outdoormicrowedding #mircoweddingphotographer #trashthedress #campingelopement #intimateweddingphotographer #smallwedding #weddingtips

I got flipped off on the freeway last month. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I used my blinker to merge, was going well over the speed limit (sorry mom) and WELL ahead of this person but they still zoomed around me and flipped me off as if I had deeply wronged them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I started bawling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In that moment, I felt in my soul the words - you can do everything right and some people still won’t like you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That stings a bit doesn't it? You could do everything right and it could still not be enough to get the job, land the client, win their heart. I want to encourage and remind you that your worth doesn't come from this, but from an unfailing Father in heaven. Your worth doesn't come from success, opinions, popularity, a job, a relationship, etc. You can shine on even when it seems like the world is against you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You are loved. You have purpose. You are needed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tag a friend below to remind they're loved 💕 I’m tagging my lovely photog friend and taker of this photo @_lindsayelaine ✨ • • • #reagansuittphotos #shareyourstory #keepshowingup #selfemployedinspiration #bossbabe #womeninbusiness #creativeentrepreneur #calledtobecreative #entrepreneurmindset #photographyeducation #realtalk #bossbabelife #selfemployed #entrepreneurinspiration #selfemployedinspiration #entrepreneur #creativeinspiration #businesseducation #bizeducation #smallbusinessowner #smallbusinesstraining #businessinspiration #entrepreneurinspiration #smallbusinesstraining
