Gabrielle and Joel | Berkeley Botanical Garden Engagement Photos

Gabrielle and Joel are the type of people that make you feel important. They take the time to get to know you, and genuinely care about people they interact with. When I met them for the first time, we sat in a coffee shop and talked for 3 hours. I had never had an inquiry meeting last so long…but then again, my husband was there with us, and he’s good at keeping the conversation going 😉

We met at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden in the morning…but it was already so hot! Joel was a trooper wearing his black shirt & pants…and Gabrielle was a major trooper walking around the gravel in heels! Their outfits looked pretty great though, wouldn’t you agree?! And Gabrielle didn’t even try to match her dress & her hair!

These two have been together for 8 years! They met in college and have been together ever since. I’m so excited for them to start their new journey in marriage! October, come quick!
