Roman and Erika let us photograph them in the snow and we love them for it! We all piled into a Subaru and took a trip to the mountains. We somehow picked the snowiest day. It was dumping snow and super deep anywhere off the road, which was perfect for a California girl like Erika who hasn’t seen much snow in her lifetime. After playing in the snow, they warmed up with a campfire and hot tea under a blanket. We love when our shoots turn into a fun experience instead of a chore you need to check off before the wedding. Despite spinning out on the freeway and later digging our car out of snow for a good 20 minutes, we had so much fun with these two and can’t wait to hang out again at the wedding!
