I love it when we travel around the city for an engagement shoot and find that our couple has thoughtfully chosen a cute outfit perfectly matched to each location. [ read more … ]

Emily & Steve: part silly, part fun, and all smiles 😀 Engagement sessions are always a perfect opportunity for our couples and us to get to know each other a bit before the wedding day, and they’re also a great time to just relax, have fun, and enjoy taking photos in a beautiful location.

While on a trip to visit San Francisco all the way from Atlanta (where I grew up!) a few weekends ago, Clayton surprised Abigail with a proposal and a beautiful ring. (Spoiler: she said yes!) They just couldn’t wait to celebrate and remember this trip of a lifetime, and we scheduled an engagement photo shoot just three days after that! [ read more … ]

Boy, was this a crazy story. From my perspective, it all started off pretty normal: Hovannes & Annie were visiting San Francisco for a few days, and they’d be staying at the Fairmont in downtown San Francisco.

Shervil & Douglas came to California all the way from Singapore for their engagement photos! Originally, we had planned on visiting some vineyards up in the Napa Valley, but had to make a last-minute switch due to the tragic fires. I loved how plan B turned out though! We went to Point Lobos near Carmel-by-the-Sea, and got some great portraits in the woods and at the beach at sunset. I’m excited to share some of their photos!
