JD and Becky flew in from Alabama, and he wanted to give her a sweet surprise in San Francisco: asking her to be his lifetime partner! JD’s parents live in Sacramento and drove to the city to witness this moment, hiding out and waiting in the back corner of a parking lot while the couple walked along Crissy Field. After JD popped the question and Becky said YES, the happy parents walked over — and you can see the surprise in Becky’s eyes! [ read more … ]

A few days before their engagement session, Kristen and Mark emailed us and requested a change of plans — instead of shooting in the city, they wanted to have their engagement photos taken on a sailboat that they just bought. David and I said to ourselves, “OMG yes please!!!” We’ve always wanted to shoot some romantic and fun photos on the water, and a sailboat is such an ideal spot! The water at the Coyote Point Marina was calm and serene, the weather was clear, and the sun was golden. Kristen and Mark couldn’t have picked a better spot, and more importantly, they as a couple turned this session into perfection! They way they looked at each other and made each other smile and laugh was memorably cute. They’re such a great match! [ read more … ]

Last weekend, Nikhil and Binita visited San Francisco all the way from Alpharetta on the east coast. She thought they were here to watch the Manchester United vs Barcelona game, but Nikhil actually had much more in mind! The two made a trip up to Battery Spencer, where the view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the top of the cliff is simply stunning, and Nikhil got down on one knee and proposed to his very excited girlfriend. I’m sure this weekend will be one they’ll remember forever 🙂 Congrats you two!

Coming all the way from Texas, Timil & Komal visited our beautiful city of San Francisco last weekend. What better place to propose than on the shores of Crissy Field with the Golden Gate Bridge spanning across the Bay as the backdrop?

After arriving at Crissy Field, we followed the couple down the trail along the beach and snuck in a few shots here and there while Timil & Komal walked and talked. When he dropped down on one knee, we saw so much emotion on her face, and it was really touching even though it was only our first time meeting them! Such a great moment. [ read more … ]

Ryan followed Catherine to California from Omaha over a year ago. He just moved back to Omaha the weekend after our photo shoot, and this time, Catherine will follow him there. They decided to have their save-the-date photos taken at Baker Beach to document their wonderful journey together here in the Bay Area. The day was a little overcast which made Catherine’s dress color pop in the photos (really pretty!) AND more importantly, we got the whole beach completely to ourselves and got some great shots!
