Chris & Anai's Northern CA Engagement Session

I just LOVED my time with Chris and Anai. They told me that they are the type of couple who are up for adventures, backpacking and road trips are a few of the things they love to do together. Knowing they were up for anything my mind starting brewing with ideas. The couple lives in Chico now but both are from the Lassen County area so they are no strangers to the beauty that surrounds Chico. We initially talked about traveling up hwy 32 from Chico towards Chester, CA., but I have always had my heart set on photographing a couple up hwy 70. Soooo, Chris and Anai took my advice and did a some scouting of their own and made a day trip to see what they thought of the scenic hwy. They decided they, too, loved what is known as the Feather River Canyon and could see some photographic possibilities.

We decided to start our session in Oroville at the Nature Center along the Feather River. Following the river up the canyon we stopped at a beautiful swimming hole. We ended our session in Belden Town, CA. Located across from the town is an old stamp mill which created a great playground for us and I loved how Chris' uniform looked against the historical monument. Before we decided to call it a day, we made our way over to the Belden Town Bridge. The bright rust orange color of the bridge makes it pretty unique.

Congratulations, Chris & Anai, on your engagement. I am so excited you two were up for the adventure. Thanks again. I had so much fun photographing you two and am beyond excited to capture your wedding day!
