Erik and I were on our way up to Ragged HIll Orchard on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. We were excited to meet up with Sarah and Steve on the apple orchard where she grew up, because apple orchards remind Erik of his family in Northern California. There is something so special about apple cider, apple fritters (as big as your head) and crisp, fresh apples, and we make a point of indulging in these when we go back to visit. So although apple fritters weren’t on the day’s menu, the fragrance of the apple blossoms hung heavy in the air as we spent a wonderful afternoon with an in-love couple Sarah and Steve were a pleasure to work with, and when two people are as into each other as they are, it makes our jobs almost too easy!

It was REALLY windy, so we headed down the hill to find some relief in between the trees and captured this shot.

A classic pose. We literally just told them to be themselves (well, truth be told Erik did mention something about kissing!)

This shot has spring written all over it! We loved the dandelions everywhere.

The apple trees and the sweet smells of the blossoms were incredible.

So in love

It wasn’t just Erik and I enjoying the beauty!

Sarah’s father left out their tractor on a little hill overlooking the orchard and we knew we had to capture them in front of it.

Not only a great couple, but talented as well!

Sarah has an incredible smile!

As we headed down to the bottom of the hill, we noticed a canopied pathway that had the most amazing light coming in.

It’s light like this that gets us super excited! I think Erik and I were saying “wow” after every couple of shots.

Sarah has a beautiful engagement ring.

They are truly a stunning couple!

We absolutely love the blossoming trees fading off into the distance, with Sarah & Steve capturing all of our attention in this shot.

Sarah & Steve, thanks for inviting us into your family’s home and letting us spend a truly memorable day with you. Erik is now bugging me to get a Maine Coon kitty! We can’t wait to be there on your wedding day. Vicki & Erik.
