Shervil & Douglas came to California all the way from Singapore for their engagement photos! Originally, we had planned on visiting some vineyards up in the Napa Valley, but had to make a last-minute switch due to the tragic fires. I loved how plan B turned out though! We went to Point Lobos near Carmel-by-the-Sea, and got some great portraits in the woods and at the beach at sunset. I’m excited to share some of their photos!

Frances and Chris were such a sweet couple! They met in college and moved to San Francisco together a few years ago, and Chris proposed less than a month ago!

For the engagement session, we started off right where they got engaged, in the Marin Headlands overlooking Rodeo Beach and the Pacific Ocean. The endless weeks of winter rain this year meant that when it came time for us to shoot, there were rolling hills with endless fields of flowers waiting for us in every direction! [ read more … ]

Being avid hikers, Jeremy and Nicole took advantage of their trip to the Bay Area to find some new spots to explore. The Linda Mar Beach/Pacifica State Beach is one of my favorite spots around here, so I’m really glad Jeremy liked my suggestion! It’s a pretty easy trail which goes up along a cliff facing the Pacific Ocean and offers beautiful views of the beach and ocean down below. Jeremy led his future wife to an overlook at the edge of the cliff before dropping down on one knee, giving them a beautiful backdrop for the proposal. [ read more … ]

We came with Sue & Bryan to Uvas Canyon County Park a couple of months ago for their engagement photos, but our second meeting was for something more special — their wedding. At this same park, we, together with about 100 other guests, witnessed the joyous union of this loving couple. [ read more … ]

Liz and Chris originally planned on having their photos taken at Ravenswood Historic Site in Livermore, but due to their early closing hours we changed our location to Pacifica State Beach. And I’m so glad we did because we got REALLY lucky that day — I’ve never seen Pacifica State Beach this empty before, as we were literally the only three people there that got to enjoy the gorgeous sunset that day! We got so many beautiful shots that I have to share with you 🙂 [ read more … ]
