Jordan had been planning this one for a while. In fact, he had picked out the ring long ago, and even came close to inadvertently spilling the beans — one night at dinner with friends, Jennifer was looking at some photos on a friend’s phone and caught a peek of the ring! Luckily, they were able to play it off [ read more … ]

Amy and David’s engagement session was relaxed, fun, and perhaps most of all, beautiful! We had initially planned on starting at Pier 7 and then heading over to Sutro Baths for sunset, but alas, the weather that day wasn’t meant to be. The fog over Richmond/Sunset remained thick through the afternoon, so we flipped our shoot around to start by the oceanside and catch sunset at the Embarcadero waterfront instead, where the sun was still peeking out over the clouds.

Dom & Mae said their vows and tied the knot earlier this month with a tiny elopement. And in the midst of this global pandemic, the logistics were actually quite difficult! There was almost no place in the Bay Area to have a ceremony, so they went down to Santa Cruz. Although coronavirus-related restrictions kept me from documenting the ceremony itself, I’m so glad I got the opportunity to meet up with them afterwards for some outdoor elopement portraits in San Francisco and create these memories of their wedding day. Check out a few of the photos below!

What an absolute stunner of a mother-to-be! We went out for Gloria’s San Francisco sunset maternity shoot at 36 weeks, and this mommy couldn’t have been more full of life — she was as active as ever and didn’t mind moving around for the best photos at all! This shoot was actually a little bit amusing as I’m almost due myself, and people were looking at us as they watched this very pregnant momma being followed around by a very pregnant photographer 😀 I love how these came out and am so excited to share!

Sutro Baths is one of those places that’s quite a wonderful sight at almost any time of day, and a photographer’s eye can really bring out its full beauty. Omar wanted the perfect setting for his surprise proposal to Safia, and there’s really no place more picturesque than a sunset Sutro Baths proposal. He even scouted out the spot in advance to make sure it would be the right choice… and yes, I think he chose well! [ read more … ]
