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 … ]

Check out these beautiful portraits of Sarah and Rob at the Legion of Honor and Sutro Baths. I really like the contrast between their outfits and the environment! These two are so in love, and I enjoyed every minute of photographing them. Can’t wait for their wedding later this year 🙂

Dylan surprised Christina with a stunning ring on his “business trip” last weekend! Earlier that day, Annie and I had been checking the hourly weather forecast every 15 minutes because there was an up-to-90% chance of showers at 5pm when Dylan was supposed to drop down on his knee. By the time we arrived at the cliffs at around 4, it was already pouring and the wind was crazy.

If there ever was a time for me to have been thankful for the awful Bay Area traffic, this was it. [ read more … ]

David and I LOVE couples with lots of love and a little sense of humor! Look at N&S’s photos — each one of them has no shortage of laughter and love, and their wedding was beautiful and romantic in a lot of ways! [ read more … ]

When Christiana and Mike told me that they were newly engaged, they really meant it! They got engaged on Dec 27th and we went out to a few beautiful locations in San Francisco for their engagement photos only three weeks later. They wanted this photo session to be romantic and fun, so we started out with a rowboat at Stow Lake. We definitely wouldn’t forget their two puppies (they are sooooooo cute), and I think the save-the-date photo with the puppies in this blog post is for sure one of my favs. The tide was crazy that day at the beach but C&M, running towards the water and getting totally soaked, didn’t mind at all. I got some really adorable photos! [ read more … ]
