Vivian & Sam’s Sunny San Francisco Photoshoot

Vivian and Sam had just gotten married under the classic bright SoCal sunshine, so for their San Francisco portraits they asked for the same warm, sun-soaked vibe. We skipped golden hour and met at midday — blue skies or bust! We started at SF City Hall, letting the clean architecture and soft window light show off their newlywed glow, then headed out to the coast for some fun outdoor shots.

Of course, San Francisco had other plans. The bridge was wrapped in fog when we arrived, so we waited it out at the top of the trail. And then the sun punched through, revealing a deep blue sky, glowing water, and the Golden Gate Bridge for a perfect backdrop! We made our way down to the beach where Vivian and Sam danced around the tide line and ran through the surf, all while snapping away on the trail for some extra shots. Exactly the sunny look they hoped for, and worth every minute of the wait!
