We did something a little different than usual for Adam & Lily’s engagement session and started off at Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous, a cute little ice cream shop in the Dogpatch. How fun! After a delicious round of photos, we moved on to Potrero Hill and Pier 7 to finish out the evening. Take a look at some highlights from their session below!

Annie and I flew to the east coast last month for Maylene & Alejandro’s Fairmont Pittsburgh hotel wedding. That weekend marked many “firsts” for us (we had never been to Pennsylvania!), but the biggest one is that it was our first time photographing a close friend’s wedding. We normally get to know all of our couples pretty well by the time we show up on their wedding day, but it’s really a different experience to look through the lens and focus on every expression, every smile, and every tear for someone we’ve known for half our lives… and I’m so glad we did it!

Our clients often get understandably concerned about the weather in San Francisco, which is commonly overcast. But it’s actually a blessing in many ways!

We took some classic wedding portraits in the grand interior of the San Francisco City Hall and by the Golden Gate Bridge, some really fun photos at Potrero Hill with the city skyline in the background, and a few cute walking photos by the water at Sutro Baths.

The Palace of Fine Arts is one of the most beautiful structures in all of the city of San Francisco. But for about two weeks every year, it’s even more special. At sunset, the sun shines through the arches of the rotunda across the pond, casting a golden spotlight on the perfect proposal spot. And for months, Will had been planning to be right there with his girlfriend Samantha. [ read more … ]
