What a view, and what a lovely couple! Tommy proposed to Jiahui at Battery Spencer, where the view from the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge was simply stunning. Tommy had EVERYTHING planned out meticulously weeks before the proposal! Not only did he visit several possible proposal locations the morning before, he actually visited them each twice… without arousing suspicion! On the morning-of, the couple arrived just as the fog was rolling out, giving us a clear view of the beautiful bridge. As you’ll see in the photos below, Tommy even made a book of memories to show Jiahui, and the last page told her to turn around — to find him surprising her with the ring. This was a very sweet proposal and mini engagement photo session, and congratulations to Tommy & Jiahui!

After waiting for several months, we finally got to photograph Kristin and Brian’s wedding on the Commodore Hornblower as it cruised around the Bay to Alcatraz and back! It was such a memorable and cozy ceremony where Kristin and Brian were surrounded by their loved ones, with the captain being their officiant. After the reception, Brian’s sister threw the couple a surprise first dance challenge and these two NAILED it! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Gnecco!

Dante must be one of the most organized and best prepared grooms-to-be ever! He had every little detail meticulously planned out, and somehow even managed to sneakily text us a “hi,” without Jade noticing, to let us know that he had arrived. We followed the couple around like paparazzi and then caught him popping the question at just the right place. Congrats Dante & Jade!

Van & Matt met when they were at Stanford (David’s alma mater!) and are getting married next April. They’re an active and outdoorsy couple and because they love hiking, we went to Thornton Beach in Daly City to take some photos on the hike and at the beach. This post starts with some romantic photos on the beach and then shows some fun shots on our hike. Congratulations Van and Matt!

Journey was turning two years old! We followed him around Alamo Square in his cute “2” outfit and Pharrell’s happy hat and got some cute pics of him playing and dancing. Happy second birthday, Journey!
