This proposal will go down in our books — and memories — as one of our most special, one that we’ll be remembering fondly for many years to come. Jason had prepared a special scrapbook of photos to give to Erin to recap their journey thus far, and also to symbolize the (literal) new page they’d be adding to their story that day. He managed to get her up the trek to the top of Slacker Hill without giving away the surprise, and the book was waiting for them, carefully positioned at just the right spot. They took a few moments to flip through the book together, and as you can see below, she was absolutely ecstatic when he asked the question. [ read more … ]

Hansen and Sherlyn first met during the pandemic, and now they’re taking a tour around the USA for their first international trip together. First stop: the Bay Area, where we met up by the oceanside for their sunset pre-wedding photo shoot. It just so happens that it’s that time of year again when the fog is (mostly) gone, the sun is out, and my primary residence is Sutro Baths [ read more … ]

Before reaching out to us, Ali had done a bunch of research on locations for photos in San Francisco, and he really liked Sutro Baths. It’s a tough spot for surprise proposals (it’s tough to navigate + is usually very crowded), so despite my best efforts to steer him elsewhere, he knew this had to be the spot. After all, it’s absolutely one-of-a-kind, and there’s just no other place like it for such a beautiful ocean sunset surprise proposal. And of course, I totally understand — anything for the shot!

I’m finishing up editing these photos from Connie and Wilmer’s San Francisco sunset engagement shoot, and wow do these two look stunning! I just can’t wait to share a few. For their engagement session, we hit quite a few locations together — the Golden Gate Bridge, Legion of Honor, and Sutro Baths — for a diverse set of backgrounds in their photos. [ read more … ]

We’ve seen a lot of sunsets, but very few compare to the epic, sweeping views seen from up at the Mt. Tam. M did a ton of research before deciding on the Mount Tamalpais East Peak for his surprise proposal to V, spending many hours driving around the Bay Area to pick the perfect spot. Since he knew she loves mountains, hills, and nature, he knew this was going to be the place. It’s pretty well hidden away, but this rock on the side of the mountain offers a sweeping 270-degree panoramic view of San Francisco and the Bay Area, and it’s nothing short of spectacular.
