Sometimes, I get home from a shoot and absolutely can’t wait to look through all the photos… and then I can’t decide on my favorites because every last one of them is my favorite! I’m simply in love with Maria & Max’s San Francisco oceanside engagement shoot and I loved every minute we spent together. They’re such a wonderful couple and exactly like the photos show: lively, playful, and totally in sync with one another. [ read more … ]

Tracy & Darren are getting married in LA, but since this soon-to-be-bride is from San Francisco, we took a set of engagement photos for them here in the Bay Area. We hit a couple of the best spots around San Francisco, including the Palace of Fine Arts, Potrero Hill, and Baker Beach. [ read more … ]

I met up with Gabrielle & Adam a few days ago for their engagement session and I’m so excited to share some photos! They both enjoy grabbing a drink and chilling together, so to incorporate that into their photos we started off at the Virgin Hotel. The hotel is a a meticulously-decorated, perfectly classy setting for photos, and it actually just opened its doors a couple of months ago. (Thanks Virgin for letting us snap a few photos in your space!)

After that, we headed to Baker Beach to catch the sunset and some views of the waves and Golden Gate Bridge. [ read more … ]

It’s always great to have couples who don’t quite take themselves too seriously. Laura Beth & Andrew are a wonderful couple who just can’t stop smiling and laughing with each other. They’re cute and perfect together — and it’s the candid laughs and real interactions that I loved so much about this session. And we still got plenty of romantic portraits, like the ones you’ll see below 🙂 The golden sunset and textured skies certainly didn’t disappoint either! Take a look at some of the highlights from their engagement shoot!

Bruce and Hannah are cute, lovey, and total goofballs. We felt like the two of us had a lot in common with them (mostly the goofy part), and I think it helped make for a perfect engagement shoot! We started off at Gott’s Roadside at the Ferry Building, as food is a big part of their lives and they often like to spend time with each other there. (Side note: the garlic fries there are sooooooo good!) We kept it super casual and had a lot of fun, and I love the way their silly personalities light up in these. [ read more … ]
