Katie & Brian’s Golden Gate Park Engagement Photos
As California starts to open back up from its coronavirus-induced shutdown, we’ve started getting back to work with engagement shoots, with social distancing of course — gone are the days when we could greet our couples with a hug! Brian & Katie’s engagement session was our first after being shut down for over two months, and we are so excited to share.
We met up at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park to catch the sun just as its golden rays were ducking behind the hills there. B&K wore matching traditional hanfu which went really well with the Asian-style architecture of the Stow Lake pavilion and nearby gate. The two looked really good in them too — we had quite a few passers-by stop to look and congratulate them! Afterwards, we headed over to Baker Beach for some fun and spontaneous outdoor engagement photos until the sun set over the ocean.
Throughout this shoot, I just loved the interaction and connection between them, and we can’t wait to capture more of it at their wedding!
