Preethi and Parthiv started dating in their freshman year at Waterloo (my alma mater!), and moved to San Francisco 6 months ago. For their engagement photo session, we visited the Palace of Fine Arts and Crissy Field in San Francisco. 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 … ]

Their timing was absolutely perfect — early enough for the sun to still be barely above the horizon and give us a bit of light, yet late enough for most of the crowds to have cleared out. Moments after the proposal, the lights along the Golden Gate Bridge turned on, giving us a colorful, pretty backdrop for some photos. [ read more … ]

For their anniversary last month, Jenny and Rob planned a “babymoon” trip to San Francisco. While they were in town, we met at Baker Beach for a sunset photo session for them. I’m actually about a month farther along than Jenny and had my own babymoon a couple of months back, so I know how great it is! [ read more … ]
