Frances and Chris were such a sweet couple! They met in college and moved to San Francisco together a few years ago, and Chris proposed less than a month ago!

For the engagement session, we started off right where they got engaged, in the Marin Headlands overlooking Rodeo Beach and the Pacific Ocean. The endless weeks of winter rain this year meant that when it came time for us to shoot, there were rolling hills with endless fields of flowers waiting for us in every direction! [ read more … ]

Mike and Leera were a super sweet couple! I hiked around with them at Lands End for an hour and they were smiling the ENTIRE time! The love and respect they have for each other is incredible! Oh they even brought their Anaheim Ducks jersey, which was a fun way to end our session. [ read more … ]

Richard and I had talked a lot about his proposal plan and what was going to happen: he and Cheramie would hike to the top of Slackers Hill where I’d be waiting with my assistant, they’d have a few moments to themselves before he proposed, then we’d all try to race over to a romantic sunset dinner before, well, the sunset.

Oh, how I was caught off guard. [ read more … ]

A & C went for a stroll at Alta Plaza Park on a sunny Friday afternoon, like they had done many times in the past. This time, though, C had a little something planned: he brought a little box with a big surprise! [ read more … ]

Eric chose a unique and memorable location to propose: the rooftop of his apartment in Telegraph Hill. It was oddly-shaped with random obstacles and gaps with 30-foot drops scattered across the top, but that just made this shoot more of a fun challenge 🙂 And its perfect view — with the majestic National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi serving as a backdrop in one direction, and the Transamerica Pyramid in another — couldn’t have looked better than it did under the golden sun that afternoon.

Upon arriving, Eric gave his well-rehearsed speech to Lauren, who was quite visibly overjoyed as you can see below. She said yes, of course! Congrats to both of you!
