COVID-19 has really put a hamper on going out and on travel in particular, but love doesn’t stop and love doesn’t wait. Last week, Michael brought Lexus down to this perfect Golden Gate Bridge vantage point to surprise her with the question. But before they made their way there, he smoothly got Lexus to hop on a video call so that her family could see it happen. In a true reflection of the times, in these photos below you’ll see them both wearing masks during the proposal, and Lexus holding her phone for the video call. One of my favorite things about this proposal, by the way, is how the mask covers Lexus’s face, but her emotion and joy have no trouble shining right through it. [ read more … ]

Dom & Mae said their vows and tied the knot earlier this month with a tiny elopement. And in the midst of this global pandemic, the logistics were actually quite difficult! There was almost no place in the Bay Area to have a ceremony, so they went down to Santa Cruz. Although coronavirus-related restrictions kept me from documenting the ceremony itself, I’m so glad I got the opportunity to meet up with them afterwards for some outdoor elopement portraits in San Francisco and create these memories of their wedding day. Check out a few of the photos below!

We met Laura Beth & Andrew almost a year and a half ago, back when the world was still humming along and everyone was doing the now-unthinkable — like gathering in groups and giving out hugs! 😱 Yeah, crazy times, I know. When it became clear a few months back that their meticulously-planned wedding would be disrupted, Laura Beth and Andrew decided to rethink it all and distill their wedding celebration down to what really mattered: a memorialization of love between the two of them, witnessed by their family & friends both near and far. As a result, they completely reimagined their wedding day and turned it the most fun and interactive Zoom wedding ever! [ read more … ]

Andrew had a lot of sneaking around to do in order to keep this all a surprise — the day before proposing to his girlfriend Christina, he picked up the ring, drove out to ask for her parents’ permission, and even came by to drop off some champagne for us to bring along for them to celebrate after the proposal. It then all came together on a beautiful day, when the two of them went out for a stroll together along a trail in San Francisco, ending at this Golden Gate Bridge lookout where he popped the question and she (very excitedly) said yes.

About a week ago, Arpan brought Noveen over to the Wave Organ in SF under the ruse that they were going to meet a client. They had a nice little walk along the Bay to the end of the jetty, and when they got there, he had a very well-rehearsed speech ready. [ read more … ]
