Joe + Alicia - Cold and Snowy Engagement Session - Wrightwood, Ca. by Ulices Del Toro

We made our way up to Wrightwood, California this day we the expectation of a perfectly nice sunny day. But the weather had other plans. Around the time I started to make my way to to get to our session, the weather changed and decided a little snow storm was going to roll through. We decided to stick to the plan and see what we ended up with.

The photos will speak for themselves, the session turned out great. But it did not come without some really really cold weather, high winds and snow! Regardless we pushed through, had fun and got some memorable photos and a session we will never forget! So excited to see these two say i do!

Bryce + Desiree - Engagement - Snow Covered Mountain Session - Angelus Oaks CA by Ulices Del Toro

When I first talked to Bryce + Desiree about their engagement session, they already knew they wanted to do something adventurous. We planned on doing a mountain session in hopes of finding snow. Well the snow found us! The week we planned on having their session, we had a nice winter storm that more than guaranteed snow. Luckily for us, Bryce’s truck was built for this.

On the way up the mountain headed towards Angelus Oaks, we were a little concerned about finding a place to play in the snow that wouldn’t be over-populated with everyone who had the same idea that weekend. As we entered the snow covered mountains, we ended up getting into a mile-long line of traffic with people waiting to put their chains on.

We made a last minute decision to take a side road that was already covered in snow and had not been plowed yet. That road just happen to lead us up to the perfect empty trailhead where we had full range of mountains and forest completely covered in snow all to ourselves.

We got to run and play in the snow and take some pretty epic photos. Surprisingly it wasn’t event hat cold. it could not have been a more perfect way to spend an engagement session. Towards the end of our session it even started to snow on us. This really will be an engagement session i will never forget.

Luis + Sierra - Engagement - Angeles Oaks Ca by Ulices Del Toro

You know it’s going to be an awesome shoot when you pull up to your session, and everything is covered in snow! This was also the first time we met Luis and Sierra in person, and I’m pretty sure we hit it off because we spent the rest of the day laughing and having exploring the Angelus Oaks forest together!

Their pup Waffles also came with them, he loved running around the snow and playing with his humans! This was such a fun shoot from beginning to end. Their engagement session was a blast and we cannot wait for their big day!
