While on holiday in San Francisco, G had a big surprise planned for his girlfriend. He had actually been planning it for some time, but this would be the perfect opportunity to finally put it into action. [ read more … ]

Dennis & Christine met seven years ago, and their story quickly grew together. Once they knew they had each found the one, Dennis asked Christine’s parents for their blessing, then waited patiently until he had just the right opportunity. (Perhaps it’s more correct to say that Christine waited very patiently for Dennis to finally find that opportunity.) In the end, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect proposal than where he ended up popping the question three years later: on a hike, overlooking the Banff ice fields, at sunset. That’s top-of-bucket-list material for photographers like us!

Back home in California, for their engagement session, we started at the Legion of Honor, and then made the quick drive over to Sutro Baths to catch sunset on the beach. [ read more … ]

Aditi & Timir’s engagement session was a two-part affair. For the first set of photos, they hopped on a rowboat and paddled around Stow Lake for some fun, relaxed photos around the park. It’s not something I do often, but I think we got some really cute photos! For the second set, they really wanted the perfect sunset. And let’s be real — with the incredible skies that San Francisco has to offer, who doesn’t? [ read more … ]

Emily and Erik recently moved from San Francisco to Austin, and last week they came back to the city where they first met for a Sutro Baths engagement photo shoot. E&E got engaged last April, so they planned this trip for the anniversary of their engagement, and it worked out oh-so-perfectly. I’m in love with everything about this couple, and am so excited to share a few of their photos!

What a gorgeous couple and amazing sky! This has to be one of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen, and I’ve certainly seen more than my fair share of golden California sun. I had such a great time with Alyan & Daniel out there shooting on this beautiful day. Their chemistry is what makes me really love how their sunset engagement photos came out, and their natural and blissful look throughout this shoot was picture-perfect. [ read more … ]
