In between shots during M&T’s engagement session, their puppy Ruby ran around in circles, ate grass, tasted ocean foam, and… pooped in the woods. Some of my favorite photos feature M&T looking perfectly calm and romantic, juxtaposed with Ruby acting like a big goofball inches away in the same frame. And we loved every minute of it.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a favorite of travelers visiting San Francisco, and Alex decided it’d make a great backdrop for a proposal to his girlfriend Amanda. He had actually planned this almost half a year in advance, giving us plenty of time to discuss a variety of possible locations and their differences. He ended up deciding on a marriage proposal at Baker Beach [ read more … ]

What a treat it was to photograph this couple + family photo session! Anh & Cliff (ok, mostly Anh… according to Cliff) had prepared themselves and their kids with matching outfits from head to toe, and even had cute pieces for their two dogs to wear. Every detail was perfectly planned, and I loved every part of it — but my favorite was the mommy/daughter coordination, which was simply adorable! [ read more … ]

Vicki and Wai-en met online like seemingly everyone does these days, and their story together quickly blossomed from there. (I think the last… 5? 6? couples we’ve talked to were all first brought together by the magic of the Internet — which would have been quite unbelievable even five years ago!) The two moved in together right as the pandemic was beginning, and they found such joy in being quarantine buddies that they officially got engaged in September. Fast forward two months, and here we are for their engagement photos at the Palace of Fine Arts and Baker Beach 🙂 [ read more … ]

Lajos and Gunjan are quite the avid travelers. In fact, they first met while they were on separate international trips. They just happened to cross paths and have been inseparable since! Now they’re exploring California together, starting with our beautiful city of San Francisco. To memorialize the trip, we met up with them one morning near the Golden Gate Bridge for some travel couple portraits. I really enjoyed their outfits — stylish and perfectly matched, just like the two of them. Take a look at the photos below!
