Downtown Reno Engagement | Emma & Andres

Reno is more than just a city. It’s a vibe. Especially with it’s glowing electric magic by night.

For Emma and Andres, this shoot was all about capturing their love in a place that reflects their sense of adventure and connection. They have been together for just over two years, and their relationship is built on exploring new places—whether it’s spending time in the Sierras, hiking, road-tripping, or checking out historic towns and new restaurants. And of course, concerts are always on their list!

We started exploring downtown Reno, capturing the energy of the city with its historic buildings and funky architecture.

Emma and Andres actually met almost a decade ago! Andres first saw Emma at a bar in 2015 but didn’t approach her. Then, in a twist of fate, he walked into a different bar later and saw her again—this time, behind the bar, working. They became friends, but it wasn’t until 2022 that they both decided (at the same time!) to give dating a shot. From there, everything just clicked.

One of the best moments from their relationship? Emma driving through a blizzard to hang out with Andres the first weekend they started dating. After that, she swore off driving in snow forever and made Andres take the wheel for every trip since!

Going into their engagement session, they were a little nervous about looking awkward in front of the camera—but that feeling disappeared pretty quickly. Once they got into it, they felt super comfortable, just being themselves, and ended up loving how natural and effortless everything felt.

For Emma and Andres, the future is all about continuing their adventures together and expanding their little family. And if their story so far is any sign, there’s so much more magic ahead.

If you're looking for an engagement session that mixes city charm with a little neon magic, Reno is the place to do it. Whether it’s a relaxed daytime stroll downtown or a cinematic night under the lights, this city makes love stories shine in the best way possible.
