Dhanesh & Anu’s Surprise Proposal + Save the Date Photos | San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts Proposal Photographer

This is a special session for us. We were originally contacted by Anu’s sister to give Dhanesh and Anu a “save-the-date session” because this lovely couple is getting married this December in India. An hour before the session we got a call from Anu’s sister telling us there was a last-minute change of plan — Dhanesh was going to surprise Anu with a ring! We were sooo excited and rerouted to get this couple some roses 🙂 We told Anu for the first set of photos we wanted them to stand back to back with their eyes closed, and when Anu turned around and found out what was really going on, she was in complete shock. Love every single photo of her priceless facial expressions — let these photos speak for themselves…

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding Dhanesh and Anu! And thank you Tanu for making all these happen!

Kristin & Brian’s Engagement Session at Japanese Tea Garden | San Mateo Photographer

Kristin and Brian are two dog lovers like us! Their three little pups didn’t come to our photo shoot because of the garden restrictions 🙁 We shot these photos at the Japanese Tea Garden where Brian took Kristin for their first date! And we can just tell how sweet they are together — Brian took really good care of Kristin for the entire session and even carried her in his arms over rocky paths. Congrats you two and we cannot wait for your July wedding!!

Dave’s Surprise Proposal to Gretchen + Mini-Engagement Session | Bay Area Photographer

Dave proposed to Gretchen this past Saturday at Baker Beach!!! We were thrilled to be a part of this special moment 🙂

We sneakily followed them from the parking lot to the beach after making eye contact with Dave to let him know that we were ready. As soon as I sensed the big moment coming, I flung off my flip-flops and ran to a good vantage point. From that second on, our shutters worked NON-STOP! Every second was so emotional and precious that we just couldn’t get enough. And OMG that ring… is to die for! Good job Dave! And congratulations you two!!
