While on a weekend trip to San Francisco for Heather’s birthday, this pair of high school sweethearts (together for nine years!) made their way out to Baker Beach for a special event. Ian had put a lot of planning into his proposal, and he and I were afraid it was going to rain that day — but in fact, the weather turned out very bright and sunny, perfect for a walk on the beach!

When Christiana and Mike told me that they were newly engaged, they really meant it! They got engaged on Dec 27th and we went out to a few beautiful locations in San Francisco for their engagement photos only three weeks later. They wanted this photo session to be romantic and fun, so we started out with a rowboat at Stow Lake. We definitely wouldn’t forget their two puppies (they are sooooooo cute), and I think the save-the-date photo with the puppies in this blog post is for sure one of my favs. The tide was crazy that day at the beach but C&M, running towards the water and getting totally soaked, didn’t mind at all. I got some really adorable photos! [ read more … ]

Despite Sean working an out-of-town job and the two only seeing each other on weekends, he and Rochelle spent a precious day scouting out locations for their engagement photos to make this an extra-special shoot. Thanks to their effort, they found this lovely wooded spot in the Presidio that was so perfect for some romantic portraits! [ read more … ]

Austin and Brittany planned a destination wedding (in Mexico!!), and wanted to have their save-the-date/engagement photos taken near the Golden Gate Bridge. We drove along the windy road near Battery Spencer up to the top with the tunnels where Austin proposed, then headed back to Baker Beach to run around and bury our feet in the sand. Luck was with us, and instead of a typically foggy summer day in San Francisco, we got a stunningly beautiful sky!! [ read more … ]

E&A flew in from Alabama for a trip to San Francisco for the Giants games, but little did she know, he had the proposal all planned out several weeks in advance! On the big day, the couple walked up to the overlook at Battery Spencer with its stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The fog was perfect — just enough to give them that perfect, soft light, and to give that romantic aura over the bridge. The timing of the fog was perfect too: literally within 20 minutes of their arrival, the bridge disappeared in the fog. I’m so happy that SF will mean a lot to them from this day forward 🙂

The two of them were so happy and are just perfect for each other. Congrats to E&A!
