Hakone Estate Engagement Session

Mindy & Daniel

Hakone Estate & Gardens Engagement Session

Saratoga, California

.

Mindy and Daniel fell in love with Saratoga, which was a far cry from where they fell in love with each other in Texas. Although recent transplants to Bay Area, these two have quickly found some very magical places to explore while planning their summer wedding later this year. I have no idea how many times I’ve driven past Hakone Estate and Gardens and never realized it was there! The day we met for their engagement session, I was instantly in awe. The blooming cherry trees dotting the steep winding road were raining flowers. It felt otherworldly. Wandering around the estates was a treat but spending time with Mindy and Daniel was the real boon. I love spending time with them and can’t wait for their wedding in Saratoga Springs!
