Sometimes, we’re dealt a combination that is just too good to be true: the sweetest couple, in the most scenic location, with unbelievable weather. Tim & Kim love to hike, and they know all the good spots in the Bay Area… which is great for us as we love to explore new places for photos! They ended up choosing a mountaintop engagement photo shoot in Portola Valley, at a beautiful, quiet expanse of nature nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It’s a wonderful spot for engagement photos, and even more so for Tim & Kim since the outdoors is something they enjoy together as a couple. [ read more … ]

Marcus & Kasley have a “spot” in the trails of Marin, up near Mt. Tam. There’s a log just off the path where they’ve shared some special memories together, and what could be a better place to mark their next big step together? So on an perfectly clear and beautiful July day, the two of them headed up into the hills together. Right after they arrived, we just randomly happened (not really… 😇) to pass by and catch this memory for them to remember and cherish. [ read more … ]

Tomas had the perfect day planned for his girlfriend Marta. They started their morning with a visit to the place where they had their first date, and after a long, romantic day together, they made their way up to the top of a peak in the San Bruno mountains. [ read more … ]

Tom & Emily decided to have their engagement photos taken in our beautiful coastal town of Pacifica, where they both lived. We spent some time taking photos at Grey Whale Cove Beach and at Mori Point, where they often liked to take their dog out for casual hikes. Bella, a shepherd mix, reminded me a lot of my old German Shepherd: warm, fuzzy, loving… and pretty good at posing for the camera 🙂 [ read more … ]

Brittany & Brooke’s engagement photo shoot on the Batteries to Bluffs Trail was one of the most natural, candid engagement sessions we’ve had the joy of photographing — and for very good reason! [ read more … ]
