The best photo sessions are like this one, where I feel like I’m just playing with a puppy on a beach the whole time. Michelle & Austin brought along their little black lab puppy Goomba to the shoot and he was such a CUTE little delight! He was a little scared of the ocean sounds, so that’s why you see him being carried in some of the photos, haha. If only every engagement photo shoot could be like this one! [ read more … ]

Conor and Kristin made the drive down from Sonoma to meet up with us for an early morning engagement shoot, even though it was right during the middle of raging wildfire season. (You can even see the haze in some of the photos.) We started off at a completely empty beach, as if it was reserved just for them, and then headed over to Lovers’ Lane in time to catch the morning sun peeking through the trees like we were in a magical forest.

Lana and Alan have known each other almost their entire lives — since the wee age of six! But they only started officially dating a few years ago, and it wasn’t even very long ago that Alan overheard Lana’s cousin asking if she would ever consider dating him… and Lana saying “no, never!”

Well, he got the last laugh because he definitely put a ring on her!! Last month, we went out to City Hall and Baker Beach to get some pretty pictures for them and I’m excited to share 🙂 Congrats to this perfect pair and their wedding next summer!

Are you ready to see a set of very colorful and playful engagement photos? Michelle and Justin chose to start off their engagement shoot at two spots that were not only new to us, but are entirely unconventional for engagement photos. We started off at the Coin-Op Game Room in SoMa, where you can see they had a pretty good time at the various game machines around the arcade. (I wasn’t keeping score… I assume Michelle won though.)

San Francisco often gets its best sunset skies in October, and the light certainly didn’t disappoint the evening of Elli & Elliot’s engagement photos. We hiked down to the beach together, took a few fun photos along the way, and romped around in the water a bit at the bottom as we caught the Marshall’s Beach sunset. I just love how much fun they had with each other all along the way, and how Elliott rolled up his pants to splash around with Elli in the ocean! [ read more … ]
