Home Is Where It Begins: An Intimate Rancho Santa Fe Engagement in Their Future Family Home

Magic, Music, and Fairy Tale Vibes: A Private Celebration With a Vegas Magician and Ship Wrek Live in the Basement

Madi and Kyle invited me into a very personal chapter of their story by choosing to have their engagement session at their home in Rancho Santa Fe. Kyle may be a famous YouTuber, but for both of them this was all about privacy, stillness, and documenting the place where they plan to build their family. We spent the session wandering through the spaces that mean the most to them, from quiet corners and sunlit rooms to the backyard that will one day hold future milestones. The result was an engagement gallery that felt less like a photoshoot and more like a love letter to their home and the life they are creating together.

Their wedding looked like it was pulled straight from the pages of a fairy tale. Surrounded by their closest friends, they created an atmosphere that was equal parts intimate and unforgettable. A harpist played gentle melodies during the ceremony while, during cocktail hour, a famous Vegas magician (Ben Seidman) moved through the crowd performing card tricks that left everyone laughing and completely amazed. Later in the evening, he put on a full performance during dinner that kept the energy high and the room buzzing. Just when it felt like the night could not get more epic, Ship Wrek took over the after party in their basement and turned it into a private EDM show that nobody wanted to end.
