Sarah & Ji’s Pre-Wedding Photos | Bay Area Wedding Photographer

These two high school sweethearts followed each other from China to Switzerland before settling down together in California. We spent the morning in and around the city capturing Sarah and Ji’s love, hitting lots of iconic San Francisco locations: the Legion of Honor, Crissy Field and the Golden Gate Bridge, the Palace of the Fine Arts, and Stanford campus. The weather was really great, with a bit of sun and a healthy dose of cloud cover, and the photos turned out great! I cannot wait to share these photos with you! [ read more … ]

Dante’s Proposal to Jade | Palace of the Fine Arts Surprise Marriage Proposal Photographer

Dante must be one of the most organized and best prepared grooms-to-be ever! He had every little detail meticulously planned out, and somehow even managed to sneakily text us a “hi,” without Jade noticing, to let us know that he had arrived. We followed the couple around like paparazzi and then caught him popping the question at just the right place. Congrats Dante & Jade!

Stephanie and Jon’s Anniversary Photos | San Francisco Crissy Field

We had the pleasure to photograph the 7th anniversary for Stephanie and Jon! Although the city and the Golden Gate bridge were shrouded by thick fog, it created a romantic feel for all of their images. For the entire session, all I saw through my lens was peace and love — please enjoy their photos.

Dhanesh & Anu’s Surprise Proposal + Save the Date Photos | San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts Proposal Photographer

This is a special session for us. We were originally contacted by Anu’s sister to give Dhanesh and Anu a “save-the-date session” because this lovely couple is getting married this December in India. An hour before the session we got a call from Anu’s sister telling us there was a last-minute change of plan — Dhanesh was going to surprise Anu with a ring! We were sooo excited and rerouted to get this couple some roses 🙂 We told Anu for the first set of photos we wanted them to stand back to back with their eyes closed, and when Anu turned around and found out what was really going on, she was in complete shock. Love every single photo of her priceless facial expressions — let these photos speak for themselves…

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding Dhanesh and Anu! And thank you Tanu for making all these happen!

Ed’s Proposal to Jenna and Mini-Engagement Session | Palace of Fine Arts Surprise Proposal Photography

Ed contacted us a month ago from Michigan telling us he’s going to propose to his love, Jenna, at the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. David and I were so excited that we immediately took a trip to the city just to find the ideal spot for Ed to pop the question. It was a complete surprise for Jenna and the whole photo session was extremely emotional! They were so full of joy that we didn’t have to pose them at all for the entire session. Everything was perfect on the day of, with the clouds arriving just in time to be a perfect backdrop for the Golden Gate Bridge portraits.

After we wished them well, we came back to get just a few more candid shots. Check them out at the end of this post!
