One of the best parts about my job, second to getting to know so many wonderful couples and learn their stories, is visiting new places! Sycamore Grove Park isn’t even far from home, and if you were driving by you might think it’s just another park — but inside, it’s absolutely wonderful for photos! I’m thrilled I got to spend an afternoon at this beautiful park that Liz & Paul picked for their engagement photos. [ read more … ]

Bruce and Hannah are cute, lovey, and total goofballs. We felt like the two of us had a lot in common with them (mostly the goofy part), and I think it helped make for a perfect engagement shoot! We started off at Gott’s Roadside at the Ferry Building, as food is a big part of their lives and they often like to spend time with each other there. (Side note: the garlic fries there are sooooooo good!) We kept it super casual and had a lot of fun, and I love the way their silly personalities light up in these. [ read more … ]

We were beyond happy when we heard from Teryn and David a few months after their wedding, telling us that they were expecting an addition to the family! Fast forward to a few months later, we met them at one of our favorite spots, the Arastradero Preserve, for their maternity photos in Palo Alto. Oh my gosh did Teryn look stunning as usual, with that cute baby bump to remind us little Maxwell will be here in a couple of months! [ read more … ]

This engagement shoot was an absolute dream for us. Carmen & Michael had the great idea of doing their engagement photos inside the San Francisco ISAIA store on Maiden Lane, where they often visit to shop and enjoy some drinks. It’s an Italian luxury menswear brand located in a unique, beautiful building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and from ceiling to floor, this place is pure eye candy for a photographer. Although I’m sure these two would look amazing anywhere, this absolutely gorgeous indoor space was a perfect match for them! [ read more … ]

Peyton wanted to make his first visit to San Francisco with Bianca an extra special one for them to remember for a lifetime. He didn’t originally intend for this to be a Fairmont rooftop garden proposal — originally, Peyton had planned to pop the question along the edge of the San Francisco Bay, but the weather forecast started looking worse and worse and had us looking for alternatives. Luckily, they were actually staying at the Fairmont Hotel, which was fantastic because its beautiful garden with a sweeping view of the San Francisco skyline was just a short walk from their room!
