Dylan & Christina’s Surprise Engagement at Mussel Rock | Pacifica Photographer

Dylan surprised Christina with a stunning ring on his “business trip” last weekend! Earlier that day, Annie and I had been checking the hourly weather forecast every 15 minutes because there was an up-to-90% chance of showers at 5pm when Dylan was supposed to drop down on his knee.

Kushal & Soha’s San Francisco City Hall Wedding Ceremony | Bay Area Wedding Photographer

Sonia & Christian | San Francisco City Hall Grand Wedding

Shooting a grand wedding at San Francisco City Hall is every photographer’s dream! Thanks to Christian and Sonia, we can now cross it off of our bucket list 🙂

Before their wedding ceremony, I got a few funny candid photos in the rain with a flipped umbrella when stepping out of the WorldMark SF, and then at the end of the night we got a few romantic photos outside City Hall, in the rain, right before their send-off in a Yellow Cab.
