We just love all the smiles and laughs in Doug and Liz’s wedding photos. The smiles on EVERYONE’s faces said it all — it was a sweet celebration of Doug and Liz’s love and lifetime commitment to each other, and it was a fun party! These two are the kind of couple who spread positive energy to everyone around them. Their exceptionally dapper little pup Tank was happy to receive lots of attention, especially during the ceremony, and we got some cute shots of him. [ read more … ]

Our lovely couple, Nick & Maria, met in graduate school, and an important moment in their relationship was a trip they took to Africa. For the proposal, Nick wanted a spot that would remind them of a safari, so we suggested the Arastradero Preserve in Palo Alto, which with its golden grassy hills is a nice escape from the urban Bay Area.

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!
