Jay & Jenny originally wanted to start off their shoot at City Hall — but when we got there, we found that the building had just been evacuated and was closed for the day! So we quickly took a few photos outside, and then headed over to the other side of the city. It ended up working out really well, and they totally rocked these Legion of Honor pre-wedding photos!

The best photo sessions are like this one, where I feel like I’m just playing with a puppy on a beach the whole time. Michelle & Austin brought along their little black lab puppy Goomba to the shoot and he was such a CUTE little delight! He was a little scared of the ocean sounds, so that’s why you see him being carried in some of the photos, haha. If only every engagement photo shoot could be like this one! [ read more … ]

Conor and Kristin made the drive down from Sonoma to meet up with us for an early morning engagement shoot, even though it was right during the middle of raging wildfire season. (You can even see the haze in some of the photos.) We started off at a completely empty beach, as if it was reserved just for them, and then headed over to Lovers’ Lane in time to catch the morning sun peeking through the trees like we were in a magical forest.

Lana and Alan have known each other almost their entire lives — since the wee age of six! But they only started officially dating a few years ago, and it wasn’t even very long ago that Alan overheard Lana’s cousin asking if she would ever consider dating him… and Lana saying “no, never!”

Well, he got the last laugh because he definitely put a ring on her!! Last month, we went out to City Hall and Baker Beach to get some pretty pictures for them and I’m excited to share 🙂 Congrats to this perfect pair and their wedding next summer!

Jess & Jason are such a special couple to us. We’ve followed their journey from “Jess and Jay’s mini big day” at City Hall, and more recently their engagement photos right at home. And they’re just the sweetest couple ever 🙂 We had been waiting for their big big day at Kohl Mansion for a whole year, and it finally arrived! [ read more … ]
