When adventure meets romance, magic happens. That’s exactly what went down during this incredible rock climbing engagement session with Madeline and Joe. Rather than opting for a traditional setting, this daring couple chose to showcase their love in the most exhilarating way—scaling towering cliffs together at one of their favorite rock climbing locations in Auburn, California.

As a destination wedding photographer, I live for capturing love stories in breathtaking locations, and this session was no exception. In fact, doing a rock climbing engagement session has been on my list for at least five years now, so I was equally thrilled for this session. With chalk-covered fingers and harnesses snugly secured, they embraced the challenge, reminding us that love is all about trust, support, and the thrill of the climb. Between ascents, I captured candid moments—stolen kisses on the cliff, and golden-hour portraits set amongst the quarry.

This wasn’t just an engagement session; it was a celebration of their adventurous spirits and the journey ahead. Whether you’re dreaming of an epic elopement in the mountains, a beachside wedding abroad, or a once-in-a-lifetime engagement session somewhere wild, I’m here to document it all.
