Bruce & Hannah’s Engagement Photos at Ocean Beach and Gott’s Roadside

Bruce and Hannah are cute, lovey, and total goofballs. We felt like the two of us had a lot in common with them (mostly the goofy part), and I think it helped make for a perfect engagement shoot! We started off at Gott’s Roadside at the Ferry Building, as food is a big part of their lives and they often like to spend time with each other there.

Eric & Lauren | San Francisco Telegraph Hill Rooftop Proposal

Eric chose a unique and memorable location to propose: the rooftop of his apartment in Telegraph Hill. It was oddly-shaped with random obstacles and gaps with 30-foot drops scattered across the top, but that just made this shoot more of a fun challenge 🙂 And its perfect view — with the majestic National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi serving as a backdrop in one direction, and the Transamerica Pyramid in another — couldn’t have looked better than it did under the golden sun that afternoon.

Upon arriving, Eric gave his well-rehearsed speech to Lauren, who was quite visibly overjoyed as you can see below. She said yes, of course! Congrats to both of you!

Weston & Laura | Surprise Proposal Photos at San Francisco Pier 7

On a warmly-lit autumn afternoon, this lovely pair took a walk down Pier 7 at the Embarcadero where they had their first date. Weston & Laura now live in Austin, but first met in San Francisco so the city, and this pier especially, hold a special meaning to them.

Weston had prepared a great trip for the two of them — first a trip to Paris, where Laura must have kept wondering, “Is he going to propose? Is he going to do it?”; then a trip to SF where he popped the question (and where she said YES); and finally, a surprise trip to visit her family and share the great news. [ read more … ]
