Their navy blue and yellow themed wedding was a gorgeous affair, and the color coordination could be seen throughout the wedding, from the bridesmaid dresses to the floral arrangement, from their wedding cake to the centerpieces. AND, the Irish band at their dance party was definitely a hit! [ read more … ]

Austin & Brittany’s Beach Sunset Engagement Photos

Austin and Brittany planned a destination wedding (in Mexico!!), and wanted to have their save-the-date/engagement photos taken near the Golden Gate Bridge. We drove along the windy road near Battery Spencer up to the top with the tunnels where Austin proposed, then headed back to Baker Beach to run around and bury our feet in the sand.

David & Jeremy | San Francisco Kite Hill Surprise Marriage Proposal

Let me start this by saying David and Jeremy’s proposal was an extremely emotional one, probably the most touching I’ve ever seen! How great was it, you ask? I couldn’t even see through my camera viewfinder at some points during David’s proposal because I was tearing up! I was so touched by the mad love between these two. David caught Jeremy off guard with this great surprise on their date night, and Jeremy was completely in shock! After responding with a yes, Jeremy decided to bend down on his knee to ask David the same question — so precious!!

D&J, your genuine love for each other created a magical moment that we’ll never forget. I’m so happy to announce that David and Jeremy are engaged!!!
