After planning a getaway to San Francisco and Napa for himself and his girlfriend, Michael contacted us to set up a surprise photo shoot for his proposal at the Palace of Fine Arts, one of the most beautiful and iconic landmarks in the city. When the day came, we checked the forecast and it was supposed to rain all day, so we actually loaded up the car with some lights and rain gear to make some cool photos in the rain.

Luck was on their side, however, as the rain paused just long enough for a romantic stroll around the Palace of Fine Arts and for her to give a joyful, enthusiastic “YES!” [ read more … ]

I absolutely adore Josh & Dylan’s cute love story! They actually met in FIRST GRADE (!!) and finally decided to go on their first date while in college, then visited Battery Spencer afterwards to enjoy the grand view of the Golden Gate Bridge. About a week ago, they revisited the Bridge again — and this time, Josh brought with him a big surprise in a little box! I’m so excited to share these photos of this special moment, beautiful couple, and gorgeous backdrop. Congrats you two!

This sweet couple flew all the way from their home in Calgary to San Francisco — where they had their first date four years ago. We had gotten so used to seeing the summer fog, and the especially-thick cover earlier that week, that when we arrived at Baker Beach to capture I&J’s proposal, the sight of the Golden Gate Bridge actually felt strange. It was as if the bridge was painted or didn’t belong there. And the sunset that night was nothing short of amazing, with its golden glow accentuating the color of the bridge. [ read more … ]

The spotlight of this post shines on Sarah & Rob, who had their glamorous and stylish wedding when they tied the knot last month at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. With their theme of “Hollywood Glamour,” the couple encouraged their guests to be as fashionable as they wanted, which definitely added to the classy air of the wedding. I really loved the bridesmaids’ dresses as well — each a little unique, but all very elegant and true to the theme! [ read more … ]

Purbasa & Nava first met in 2014, not long after she had moved to the SF Bay Area from the midwest. They went on their first date at the Punchline comedy club, and for six months, developed their relationship and enjoyed their time together in the Bay Area — stargazing at Ed Levine County Park, traveling, trying new restaurants, and cooking together. Although Purbasa had to move back to the midwest for work, they kept their long-distance relationship strong. (Further proof that long-distance can work!) [ read more … ]
