While on a weekend trip to San Francisco for Heather’s birthday, this pair of high school sweethearts (together for nine years!) made their way out to Baker Beach for a special event. Ian had put a lot of planning into his proposal, and he and I were afraid it was going to rain that day — but in fact, the weather turned out very bright and sunny, perfect for a walk on the beach!

Ashwin flew from London to San Francisco last weekend to give Chai the sweetest surprise!

The two first met each other in London when they were 15, then reconnected a few years ago… which sounds uncannily similar to the story of yours truly! After lots of planning and help from Chai’s friends, Ashwin was ready to give her a huge surprise at the top of the Lyon Street Steps. He even flew his family all the way from London and hers from Seattle for their post-proposal dinner, all unbeknownst to her — she thought he was asleep in London! [ read more … ]

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 🙂

Another sweet couple of mine got married at the historic San Francisco City Hall! I should say this is not my first time meeting with some of Soha’s family, because some of them were there when Kushal flew in from London last fall and surprised Soha with a ring and his lifelong promise — yes, the epic Palace of Fine Arts proposal! It still is one of my fav so far! I was so happy to see some familiar faces during their ceremony and was very honored to be able to tell their love story again, with my cameras! [ read more … ]

Shooting a grand wedding at San Francisco City Hall is every photographer’s dream! Thanks to Christian and Sonia, we can now cross it off of our bucket list 🙂

It was an overcast day, but the rain didn’t stop the love!! Before their wedding ceremony, I got a few funny candid photos in the rain with a flipped umbrella when stepping out of the WorldMark SF, and then at the end of the night we got a few romantic photos outside City Hall, in the rain, right before their send-off in a Yellow Cab.
