Andy got in touch with me more than a month ago to start planning his proposal. Although he and Kate were already technically engaged and had made wedding plans, he knew that she needed to receive a proper proposal like every girl deserves. We worked out a plan for the two of them to walk around the Palace of Fine Arts, where he’d surprise her with a bouquet of roses and a note that he had prepared. [ read more … ]

I love it when we travel around the city for an engagement shoot and find that our couple has thoughtfully chosen a cute outfit perfectly matched to each location. [ read more … ]

While on a trip to visit San Francisco all the way from Atlanta (where I grew up!) a few weekends ago, Clayton surprised Abigail with a proposal and a beautiful ring. (Spoiler: she said yes!) They just couldn’t wait to celebrate and remember this trip of a lifetime, and we scheduled an engagement photo shoot just three days after that! [ read more … ]

The Palace of Fine Arts is one of the most beautiful structures in all of the city of San Francisco. But for about two weeks every year, it’s even more special. At sunset, the sun shines through the arches of the rotunda across the pond, casting a golden spotlight on the perfect proposal spot. And for months, Will had been planning to be right there with his girlfriend Samantha. [ read more … ]

Though they’ve been together for seven years and are technically already engaged, Harjot knew he was missing something: a proper proposal for his future wife. After shopping for wedding outfits in the East Bay, the two went over to the Palace of Fine Arts for a walk under the rotunda and around the lagoon, then made their way over to the tree that has become such a popular spot for photos. Harjot got down on one knee, gave the proposal Zeenia deserved, and presented her with a beautiful ring. I loved the thoughtfulness that went into this, and seeing the pure happiness on both of their faces was perfect. Congrats to Harjot & Zeenia!
