Proposals (and photo shoots in general) with dogs have always been super exciting and fun for me. And I think Cooper, the cute pup you’ll see below, felt the same way! As soon as he walked onto the beach, it was like he had found freedom, and he ran around enjoying the expansive stretch of sand at Baker Beach.

A big belated congratulations to E&G on getting married and surviving the pandemic together!

We started at Baker Beach, where they had brought along a cute picnic setup and a save-the-date sign, and then ended at Sutro Baths for sunset. I loved their outfit coordination — a semi-casual set for the Baker Beach picnic, and their more formal black & white tux + gorgeous red gown for sunset at Sutro Baths [ read more … ]
