We are so lucky!! We’ve been fortunate enough to photograph a lot of Canadian couples recently 🙂 Love seeing our fellow Canadians here in the States! Ryan and Kelsi came down from Toronto for a California coast road trip from Los Angeles along the Pacific Coast Highway, with their final stop in San Francisco. Ryan had been planning to ask the big question for a while now and I’m sure he had a hard time holding it all in throughout their trip! I can still remember how shaky Kelsi’s voice was as it was a complete surprise for her. I know you guys enjoyed your trip, and congratulations again!!

Paul & Mariana have been living in the Bay Area for a few months for work. Their family is heading back to Canada in the spring so they wanted a family session in front of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Such a beautiful family, and don’t you just love their outfits?! The funny thing is that the kids’ outfits stayed clean for only one photo, then they rushed to the water and started to have fun — kids will be kids!! I loved their energy and the bond between the kids and their parents, and I sure enjoyed capturing their memories here in California!

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!!
