I was so happy when M&P decided to go to Marshall’s Beach for their engagement session. Annie and I had never been there, and it’s always exciting to try out new places! Marshall’s Beach is basically like a mini version of Baker Beach, except that it’s much quieter with far fewer people (yes, that includes the infamous nudist brigade), and it’s also a lot closer to the Golden Gate Bridge so you get a better view.

Though Chelsea and Matt live on the east coast now, she used to live in the Bay Area and he’d fly out to visit often. On a trip to Tennessee together a few weeks ago, Matt secretly asked Chelsea’s parents for permission, and then waited for the perfect moment to ask her for her hand in marriage — with the ring that he had been hiding for two months.

I really enjoyed the contrast between Preethi’s bright, vibrant sari and her black cocktail dress — and she looks amazing in both, especially alongside her sharp-looking man! [ read more … ]

I love that I get to live in a city that’s so loved by locals and tourists alike! Marcelo & Nathaly came to San Francisco all the way from England for an early spring trip, and while they were here they stopped by for a visit to Baker Beach. It was such a gorgeous day, with just enough sun for a good view but perfectly soft for beautiful portraits. (Well, at least I thought the weather was nice. Apparently, it was too chilly for the “regulars” aka nudists since none of them were “hanging out” that day =P) [ read more … ]
