Just over a year ago, we quietly hid in the (figurative) bushes as Jason and Xiaonan took a walk through the quiet and sheltered Muir Woods, until they ended up on one of the wooden bridges where he proposed (and where, of course, she said yes!). They decided to do something a little different and have an oceanside sunset engagement shoot, out in the open, under a warm sunset sky with the fresh ocean breeze all around them. [ read more … ]

As California starts to open back up from its coronavirus-induced shutdown, we’ve started getting back to work with engagement shoots, with social distancing of course — gone are the days when we could greet our couples with a hug! Brian & Katie’s engagement session was our first after being shut down for over two months, and we are so excited to share.

It was love at first sight for me. When he first stepped through that door, I just couldn’t keep my eyes off of him. Yes, that’s right, this giant fluffball Benji is an absolute heart-stealer! Okay in all seriousness, Rudy and Erin are a really sweet couple. They’re both full of smiles and radiance, and we loved the energy we felt when we first met them. I think this sun-filled Golden Gate Bridge beach engagement shoot really shows their essence perfectly. [ read more … ]

I think Lindsay’s reaction was one of the cutest I’ve ever seen… just look at the way she’s looking at her new fiancé 🙂 [ read more … ]

Dhruv was pretty sneaky… not only did he manage to get his girlfriend Shraddha over to Baker Beach without her suspecting, he also kept a rose hidden on the entire trip over to the beach! As they started to head down to the beach, I saw him very smoothly pull the flower out from hiding and place it into his back pocket for the walk. I really loved how the moment played out — simple but super sweet, with the most adorable “yes” reaction. [ read more … ]
