If I had to choose between popping the question under sunny weather on a crowded beach vs foggy weather with no one around, I’d pick the latter every time. (Well, ideally just one time, but you get the idea…) Matt & Olivia were in town for the Fourth of July, which has historically been the busiest, most crowded day in years past, and forecasts predicted even more sightseers this year. But luckily, the skies were just barely foggy enough to keep people away but not so much as to hinder the beautiful view at this beachy spot, giving Matt the stage for a perfectly quiet Golden Gate Bridge surprise proposal.

Just a few weeks before moving to San Francisco from the east coast, Max & Kara flew in for a visit over the long Fourth of July weekend. Little did she know that he had a Golden Gate Bridge surprise engagement all planned out for her, complete with champagne on the beach… just in time to make San Francisco their special place before their move! Kara was so excited she could hardly contain her jubilation, and Max was just relieved to have the weight of the surprise and anticipation finally off his shoulders, haha. Congrats to the happy couple, and check out a few photos below!

Back at the end of 2019 when the world was still going about business as usual, we met Zoe and Alex in Half Moon Bay for their engagement photos, which remain some of our absolute favorites.

After seven years and 300 proposals, we still haven’t even come close to discovering all the good spots in San Francisco — and exploring new places is one of the best parts of our job! Kirill introduced us to a new location recently, a lookout point at Mount Davidson that he had been to many times before, and we were very excited to hike up there for our first time. There’s a sweeping view of San Francisco, the downtown skyline, Sutro Tower, and even the Bay, and it’s a true hidden gem of San Francisco. [ read more … ]

This photo shoot has been a loooooong time in the making! We first met with Scarlet & Anthony at the end of 2019 — back in the Before Times when it was still normal to meet people face-to-face — and together we happily talked about their May 2020 wedding day. Well, we all know what 2020 brought us 🙁 So we rescheduled to September, because surely a pandemic couldn’t possibly last an entire summer… right? [ read more … ]
