On a sunny Sunday afternoon, Jason had schemed for Michelle’s friends to take her out to lunch for a few hours, while he went over to her parents’ backyard to set up an origami paper flower proposal. To prepare for this big moment, he had painstakingly folded dozens of flowers [ read more … ]

Taylor had a whole day of celebration planned for his girlfriend Elana, and it began with a visit to Artesa for a supposed wine tasting. We love Artesa’s very modern design and feel, and its sweeping view of the Napa Valley area is quite unlike any other winery we’ve been to. We had hidden a video camera behind one of the walkway lights [ read more … ]

What an absolutely incredible surprise proposal! The amount of effort Daniel went through to put together this dream proposal for his now-fiancée Lola was nothing short of amazing.

Despite all that 2020 has brought us, this year still has its bright spots. Amy is expecting in the next few weeks (yay!), and we went out for a maternity photo shoot to memorialize the joy and anticipation of her pregnancy journey. Since she and her husband are leaving San Francisco, we chose to take her maternity photos at Baker Beach, right in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. This was a maternity and family session mixed into one, made extra fun by little Benji 🙂

Martin’s Beach is a hidden gem of Half Moon Bay with an interesting story (see Wikipedia). Past its very unassuming entrance is a quiet beach with calm waves, coastal cliffs, and an absolutely perfect ocean sunset view. It’s a spot that Ozzy and Ashley had stumbled upon and shared memories together in the past, and it’s where he chose to ask for her hand in marriage. Check out Ozzy & Ashley’s Martin’s Beach surprise proposal below.

This was a very exciting moment to witness, and I love the energy jumping out of their photos 🙂 As they say, “never turn your back on the ocean” — you might just get a surprise if you do!
