Lauren & Jeff did a loooooot of homework before our engagement session. (Okay, it was mostly Lauren.) She had looked through a lot of our past engagement shoots and had her eye on some Sutro Baths shots, especially those beautiful reflections that can be seen in the still pools of water. But there was one problem (actually many problems): Sutro Baths is always cold, windy, and crowded… and often foggy on top of that. [ read more … ]

Almost a year ago, I strolled around Muir Woods with Jesse & Jo for their engagement photos, and last month, David and I had the honor and joy of joining them on their wedding day at the Belvedere-Tiburon Landmarks Art & Garden Center. [ read more … ]

Dennis & Christine met seven years ago, and their story quickly grew together. Once they knew they had each found the one, Dennis asked Christine’s parents for their blessing, then waited patiently until he had just the right opportunity. (Perhaps it’s more correct to say that Christine waited very patiently for Dennis to finally find that opportunity.) In the end, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect proposal than where he ended up popping the question three years later: on a hike, overlooking the Banff ice fields, at sunset. That’s top-of-bucket-list material for photographers like us!

Back home in California, for their engagement session, we started at the Legion of Honor, and then made the quick drive over to Sutro Baths to catch sunset on the beach. [ read more … ]

We met JJ & Alex a few months ago, and we loved these two instantly! They’re both outwardly a little bit shy — in a very cute and endearing way 🙂 But you sure wouldn’t be able to tell from looking at their expressions and movement in these photos! [ read more … ]

We’ve adored Adam & Anna’s love story since the moment we met them. Anna’s family has been beekeepers for several generations, and Adam proposed with jars of A&A’s very first batch of honey. We photographed their engagement session at Anna’s parents’ home, right where their bees are kept. And so it should come as no surprise that cute little bee-related details made their way into A-squared’s wedding day too.

Anna & Adam’s first look was one of our favorite first looks ever. [ read more … ]
