Sindy & Gabe wanted some night-time Embarcadero pier engagement photos, so we scheduled their session right through the sunset so we could be there after nightfall. I loved their interactions with each other – so warm and intimate, and such a joy to photograph. As the colorful dusk sky faded and the San Francisco cityscape started twinkling with lights, we walked down the pier for a couple of really special night photos, and I’m excited to share some of them with you!

I love it when we travel around the city for an engagement shoot and find that our couple has thoughtfully chosen a cute outfit perfectly matched to each location. [ read more … ]

Jay led Jen around San Francisco for a scavenger hunt on Sunday morning, and just before lunchtime, they ended up at Pier 7 for the final clue. About halfway down the pier, Jay paused for a moment, took out the ring, and got down on one knee! [ read more … ]

Mike & Katie traveled from out of state to visit San Francisco this month, and Mike had the perfect proposal lined up. On a weekday morning about a week ago, the two walked along the Embarcadero onto Pier 7. About halfway down the pier, Mike popped the big question, and we were so lucky to have been witnesses to this amazing proposal.

Meanwhile, Mike presented a cool and collected demeanor, but inside, I could tell he was incredibly excited — he didn’t even hear her say yes 🙂 [ read more … ]
