Preethi and Parthiv started dating in their freshman year at Waterloo (my alma mater!), and moved to San Francisco 6 months ago. For their engagement photo session, we visited the Palace of Fine Arts and Crissy Field in San Francisco.

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 🙂
