Derek & Kathy’s Beautiful, Rainy Surprise Proposal
January 2023 was an epic month of record-breaking rainfall in California. Despite storm after storm bringing us pouring rain and gale-force winds from across the seas, Derek was unfazed — this proposal was going to happen, rain or shine. Although originally Derek had intended to propose elsewhere in the city with an open view, ultimately it was simply raining too hard, and we rerouted to the Palace of Fine Arts, which offers a sizable covered area with a beautiful backdrop and surroundings.

Eugene & Gemma’s SF Wedding Portraits
Eugene and Gemma got engaged and married in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic, and as a result, they didn’t get to take a set of photos back then 🙁 And now that they’re husband and wife and we’re all free to roam around the city again, they decided that it’s time! We took this opportunity to get them back into a set of wedding attire and a couple of more casual outfits, and we created a set of SF wedding portraits at some of the most classic and iconic locations around the city. A big belated congratulations to E&G on getting married and surviving the pandemic together!

Bella proposed to Meg a couple months ago, and despite her joy and excitement about being upgraded to fiancée, she wasn’t totally content with letting Bella have all the fun. So over the next few weeks, Meg quietly planned a reverse surprise proposal. During a gap in their busy schedules, the two of them made their way out to the Palace of Fine Arts for a stroll around the park. When they arrived at this beautiful spot in front of the rotunda, Meg got down on one knee and finally had her chance to return the favor. [ read more … ]
