NEEMA & HOLLY | A FILOLI COUPLES SESSION

Engagement Photography | Filoli Historic House & Garden | Woodside, California

Some sessions just feel like a love story unfolding, and Neema and Holly's afternoon at Filoli was exactly that. We met at the Historic House & Garden in Woodside and wandered the grounds as the golden light settled in — the rose garden in full bloom, the brick building with its arched windows glowing behind them, the two of them so clearly at ease with each other.

I mostly followed along and let the moments happen: hands held, quiet laughter, a kiss among the roses, the occasional black-and-white frame when the mood called for it. As the sun dropped, we found the string lights, and the whole evening turned soft and warm and a little bit magic. Filoli has a way of doing that.

If a romantic, garden-style engagement or couples session sounds like your vibe, I'd love to plan one with you.
