Jason & Erin’s Golden Gate Bridge Sunset Hour Surprise Proposal

This proposal will go down in our books — and memories — as one of our most special, one that we’ll be remembering fondly for many years to come. Jason had prepared a special scrapbook of photos to give to Erin to recap their journey thus far, and also to symbolize the (literal) new page they’d be adding to their story that day. He managed to get her up the trek to the top of Slacker Hill without giving away the surprise, and the book was waiting for them, carefully positioned at just the right spot. They took a few moments to flip through the book together, and as you can see below, she was absolutely ecstatic when he asked the question. [ read more … ]

Michael & Lauren’s Mt Tam Sunset Engagement Session

Michael and Lauren are an outdoorsy couple who enjoy hiking, nature, and being outside, and both their proposal story and these engagement photos reflect that — both were in spots that rank among our favorite open, nature-y spaces here in the Bay Area. A couple weeks ago, we drove up into Marin for their Mt Tam sunset engagement shoot, and boy was it everything I was hoping for! We had an hour of fun trekking across the mountainsides, chasing the light, and making some fun memories to hang on their walls. [ read more … ]

Constance & Kevin’s Outdoor Art Club Wedding

Constance and Kevin are two of the sweetest folks you’ll ever meet, and it was such a joy for us to capture their wedding memories. Their story started a full decade ago in college, where they studied entirely different fields with disjoint course paths, but as luck would have it, they did overlap on one fateful elective — and that’s all it took. Since then, their relationship grew (along with their collective coffee habit), and one day in 2021, Kevin planned a very sweet proposal, which brings us to present day: their Outdoor Art Club wedding!

M&V’s Mount Tamalpais East Peak Surprise Proposal

We’ve seen a lot of sunsets, but very few compare to the epic, sweeping views seen from up at the Mt. Tam. M did a ton of research before deciding on the Mount Tamalpais East Peak for his surprise proposal to V, spending many hours driving around the Bay Area to pick the perfect spot. Since he knew she loves mountains, hills, and nature, he knew this was going to be the place. It’s pretty well hidden away, but this rock on the side of the mountain offers a sweeping 270-degree panoramic view of San Francisco and the Bay Area, and it’s nothing short of spectacular.
