It’s the best feeling when I’m at an engagement photo shoot and it feels like I’m just hanging out with a couple of friends and celebrating their love. (Some may call it third wheeling, but I call it a normal day at work 😛 ) Constance & Kevin decided to have their engagement session at Rodeo Beach, which was an awesome choice — I had such a fun time exploring the coastline with them.

Shirley & Timothy are getting married next year in Pleasanton, and for their engagement photos, we visited the Palace of Fine Arts together a couple weeks ago. It’s a classic San Francisco location, perfect for photos with a little bit of variety, especially with the golden fall light pouring down on them. I especially loved the cute little moments when Timothy would goof off a bit to get Shirley to giggle, and I can’t wait to see these two again in a year!

Last week, we met up with Kaila and Peter at two special spots for their engagement photos in Tiburon: the San Francisco Yacht Club for some photos in the marina and on the family boat, and at Old St. Hilary’s Church, which is a cute little chapel situated atop a beautiful grassy hill. Sailing has always been a big part of Kaila and her family, so it made a lot of sense to shoot at the yacht club. And now it’s something the two of them enjoy together 🙂 [ read more … ]

We waited a loooong time to get the perfect sunset for Nicole & Amir’s Sutro Baths engagement photos, and here we have it! I get so excited when I’m photographing a couple who is super in love — you can see it in their eyes — and I think it shows in the photos too. Towards the end, they climbed down to one of the rocks down in the ruins and we got one of my favorite photos of the set… or maybe ever. [ read more … ]

Michael and Sam brought along their dog Goose for their engagement shoot. He’s super cute (I couldn’t stop kneading the rolls on his neck…) and was so happy to get out and go on a hike with his parents! You can also tell in a lot of these photos that he’s the one running the show, haha. We were able to fit a lot of variety into two hours: starting from Slackers Hill for a great view of San Francisco and the sunny sky, then heading over to the Marin Headlands and ending at Rodeo Beach for sunset.
