This was a special 2-in-1 photo shoot: not only are Cathy & PJ recently engaged, but they’re also newly expecting! For this engagement photo session + baby announcement combo, we visited two of my favorite San Francisco locations: Potrero Hill and Sutro Baths. They had picked out a metallic golden “baby” balloon which I thought was perfect, but actually my favorite “prop” (if he can be called that 😛) was their little dog Mochi [ read more … ]

The pandemic doesn’t stop love; it merely changes the way we celebrate it. Nasim and Justin had a private civil ceremony last week with their family in attendance over Zoom, and the next morning, the three of us went out for some elopement portraits. We started at San Francisco City Hall [ read more … ]

Jordan had been planning this one for a while. In fact, he had picked out the ring long ago, and even came close to inadvertently spilling the beans — one night at dinner with friends, Jennifer was looking at some photos on a friend’s phone and caught a peek of the ring! Luckily, they were able to play it off [ read more … ]

Vicki and Wai-en met online like seemingly everyone does these days, and their story together quickly blossomed from there. (I think the last… 5? 6? couples we’ve talked to were all first brought together by the magic of the Internet — which would have been quite unbelievable even five years ago!) The two moved in together right as the pandemic was beginning, and they found such joy in being quarantine buddies that they officially got engaged in September. Fast forward two months, and here we are for their engagement photos at the Palace of Fine Arts and Baker Beach 🙂 [ read more … ]

Lajos and Gunjan are quite the avid travelers. In fact, they first met while they were on separate international trips. They just happened to cross paths and have been inseparable since! Now they’re exploring California together, starting with our beautiful city of San Francisco. To memorialize the trip, we met up with them one morning near the Golden Gate Bridge for some travel couple portraits. I really enjoyed their outfits — stylish and perfectly matched, just like the two of them. Take a look at the photos below!
