I always love it when San Francisco gets a bit of sunshine (after all, who doesn’t?), but I really loved the weather on the day of these engagement photos because of how well the cheerful sky matched up with Christine and Glen’s radiant smiles!

A few months ago, we met up with Nate & Katie for their engagement photos. It was a pretty cold and overcast day if I recall correctly, quite unlike the warm, sunny Cloverdale weather on their wedding day at The Highlands Estate, but one thing that didn’t change even a tiny bit were their smiles and the way they looked at each other (ok those were two things). We just loved all of the little mini-interactions between Nate and Katie, like the cute little forehead bump they’d sometimes do 🙂 [ read more … ]
