Emily & Josh’s San Francisco City Hall Ceremony and Sunset Portraits

I got to first meet Emily and Josh just two days before their San Francisco City Hall ceremony, at Emily’s best friend’s wedding where she was a bridesmaid. (And of course they returned the favor — you can see Jess & Jason in some of these ceremony photos!) They’re a cute couple with lots of love for each other and for those around them, and you can see that the atmosphere during their ceremony was appropriately lighthearted and fun. [ read more … ]

Nick & Kasey’s Embarcadero Bay Bridge Proposal

Nick got in touch with me a couple weeks ago as he was planning his proposal. He envisioned having the Bay Bridge as the grand backdrop, and his plan was to bring Kasey to the Embarcadero for a quick walk before having an early dinner together at the Waterbar. When he brought the ring out (and it was a beautiful ring!), she just burst with excitement and we loved getting to capture these memories for them on camera. And what’s more, her parents were hiding at the restaurant to congratulate them! [ read more … ]
