Amanda and Brandon met up with us for their engagement photo shoot in San Francisco by the ocean. Her long blue dress worked perfectly in the ocean breeze and the colorful sunset sky, but of course more important is Amanda & Brandon’s love for each other. And I loved that they were able to goof around with each other a bit too. They sure warmed up an otherwise cold San Francisco day!

This shoot was made a little more special by their German Shepherd, Diesel. [ read more … ]

Cozy, lifestyle engagement photos are some of my favorite, because each one is so very personal and unique. Jess & Jason chose to have their engagement session in the comfort and familiarity of their beautiful San Francisco home, doing all the things they love. [ read more … ]

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 … ]

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 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 … ]

One of the best parts about my job, second to getting to know so many wonderful couples and learn their stories, is visiting new places! Sycamore Grove Park isn’t even far from home, and if you were driving by you might think it’s just another park — but inside, it’s absolutely wonderful for photos! I’m thrilled I got to spend an afternoon at this beautiful park that Liz & Paul picked for their engagement photos. [ read more … ]
