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 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!!

“Aww” is the only word in my mind as I’m writing this… We had a super fun session with the beautiful Klein family! Katerina and Rob have the CUTEST baby Maya who smiles non-stop and the CUTEST puppy Coco who begs for attention all the time 🙂 We can’t wait to share their photos with you!

Nuha and Ziyad’s Wild West theme birthday party took place in the lovely clubhouse in their Fremont neighborhood. The kids sure knew how to use the photobooth props for great photos! The beautiful cake and ALL the great decorations made this birthday party a memorable one. Happy birthday Nuha & Ziyad!

Ed contacted us a month ago from Michigan telling us he’s going to propose to his love, Jenna, at the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. David and I were so excited that we immediately took a trip to the city just to find the ideal spot for Ed to pop the question. It was a complete surprise for Jenna and the whole photo session was extremely emotional! They were so full of joy that we didn’t have to pose them at all for the entire session. Everything was perfect on the day of, with the clouds arriving just in time to be a perfect backdrop for the Golden Gate Bridge portraits.

After we wished them well, we came back to get just a few more candid shots. Check them out at the end of this post!
