It is officially engagement season everyone! To kick off the season of dazzling diamonds, doe-eyed lovers, and swoon worthy photographs we are featuring an engagement photo shoot where one local couple’s shoes tell their love story.

Ashley was a professional ballerina who has danced with many leading ballet companies across America. Zach is in the military and is a southern boy at heart, he was even known to say “Yes Ma’am” frequently during the shoot. We think that this duo couldn’t be cuter! They selected the Leo Carrillo Ranch in Carlsbad for their photo session because it is rustic and packed with natural beauty, much like the couple themselves. Hopefully we will have pictures of their wedding later this year!
