Carpinteria Engagement Photos | Michelle+Miguel

Couple hugging during their Carpinteria engagement photos.

Miguel and Michelle met during their first year of college, and have been inseparable ever since. We photographed their Carpinteria engagement photos at Michelle’s boss’s gorgeous estate–with a vineyard included! The lighting was amazing, the views were beautiful, and the couple was adoringly romantic!

How did Miguel propose?
“It took me a long time to propose. I planned it for over a year but every time I was going to propose something came up and it didn’t work out. I finally did it last May in the car. One of our favorite songs was playing and I just popped the question!”

Why did the duo choose the Carpinteria home for their engagement photos? “It has a romantic view, nature, and has something that makes us feel like home.” I loved photographing at the home, too. Aside from the lighting and beauty being every photographer’s dream (not to mention, Michelle and Miguel were super easy to photograph!), it was great shooting at a new location and being able to get creative with it!Romantic couples photos in Montecito, CA.Engaged couple shows off the engagement ring.Romantic couples photos in Montecito, CA.
