We started with a surprise proposal on the shores of Enders Island, and then moved into an engagement session filled with laughter, ocean views, and that unmistakable newly-engaged glow.
Getting to spend more time with Sophie and Stjepan after their proposal gave us the chance to capture all the excitement, joy, and quiet moments that followed the big “YES!” The coastal scenery, golden light, and their natural connection made every frame feel effortless.
These two were completely wrapped up in the moment, and it shows. We’re so excited for everything that’s ahead for them and honored to be part of their story.
Congratulations again, Sophie & Stjepan! 💍❤️
