Are you ready to see a set of very colorful and playful engagement photos? Michelle and Justin chose to start off their engagement shoot at two spots that were not only new to us, but are entirely unconventional for engagement photos. We started off at the Coin-Op Game Room in SoMa, where you can see they had a pretty good time at the various game machines around the arcade. (I wasn’t keeping score… I assume Michelle won though.)

James wanted to surprise his girlfriend Anne Marie with a marriage proposal in a special spot: on a Stow Lake rowboat, near the old stone arch bridge. As they slowly rowed towards the spot while feeding the ducks around them, we got into position — Annie on the shore nearby, David in a different rowboat (with our daughter on board to make it not look suspicious!) to get a second angle from the side — and watched as they approached.

San Francisco often gets its best sunset skies in October, and the light certainly didn’t disappoint the evening of Elli & Elliot’s engagement photos. We hiked down to the beach together, took a few fun photos along the way, and romped around in the water a bit at the bottom as we caught the Marshall’s Beach sunset. I just love how much fun they had with each other all along the way, and how Elliott rolled up his pants to splash around with Elli in the ocean! [ read more … ]

We love it when a plan all comes together for a wonderful result! Preet brought his girlfriend Prabhjit to the Palace of Fine Arts on a sunny October afternoon. Prior to his arrival, a group of his friends had gathered to help set up an cute “marry me” lighted sign and flower petals arranged in the shape of a heart. Thanks to all the help, by the time they arrived, the completed setup looked just perfect. Congrats to P&P and check out their beautiful Palace of Fine Arts sunset proposal in the photos below!

We’ve waited almost a year and a half for Lauren & Jeff’s B.R. Cohn wedding, and if we were in love with their engagement photos last fall, then we’re absolutely over the moon with everything about their wedding day. This was one of those weddings where we not only really enjoyed ourselves from behind the lens during all the action, but we constantly find ourselves smiling again and again, every time we look at their photos or think back to their wedding day.
