Just last month, we met Shabeg and his now-fiancee Nav for their surprise proposal on the Fairmont Hotel rooftop. Last weekend, we drove out to Pescadero for their engagement shoot so they could have everything ready for their wedding — which is in less than two weeks! That’s some efficient wedding planning!

For the first half of this session, we took a set of playful and fun photos along the coast at Pescadero State Beach (including that mini-canyon thingy that’s just absolutely wild), and afterwards headed south for some Pigeon Point Lighthouse engagement photos, which are some of my favorites from their shoot.

Kim & Raoul met in one of my favorite cities in the world — Vancouver! Maybe I had even bumped into them unknowingly many years back when I lived there too 😀 For their engagement photos, we hit up the very distinctly San Francisco location of Baker Beach for their beach sunset engagement session. There’s a great amount of variety here, with woods, beach, and a Golden Gate Bridge view all within a few minutes’ walk. It was super empty that day, and it was as if they had the whole beach to themselves!

Amanda and Brandon met up with us for their engagement photo shoot in San Francisco by the ocean. Her long blue dress worked perfectly in the ocean breeze and the colorful sunset sky, but of course more important is Amanda & Brandon’s love for each other. And I loved that they were able to goof around with each other a bit too. They sure warmed up an otherwise cold San Francisco day!

This shoot was made a little more special by their German Shepherd, Diesel. [ read more … ]

Cozy, lifestyle engagement photos are some of my favorite, because each one is so very personal and unique. Jess & Jason chose to have their engagement session in the comfort and familiarity of their beautiful San Francisco home, doing all the things they love. [ read more … ]

Lynn & Tony’s San Francisco engagement photos at a very foggy Potrero Hill are probably some of our favorites ever, especially with Lynn rocking her beautiful blue dress… and that location wasn’t even in our original plan! [ read more … ]
