Aaron had a big surprise planned for Amy… actually, two of them! Last week, the pair made their way down the oceanside trails to Marshalls Beach and set down a picnic blanket to sit and relax together.

Annie and Kevin got married a few years ago, but they never got around to taking photos in San Francisco… so we set out to fix that last week! These two were a bunch of fun and full of giggles, like they had just gotten married yesterday. I loved capturing all of their little kisses and smiles, and the beautiful skies certainly didn’t hurt. Here are a few of my favorites from their shoot at a couple of my favorite spots in SF 🙂
