Nathan had worried for weeks about catching a nice sunny day to take his girlfriend Lily to Marin for a surprise proposal at Kirby Cove Beach. After multiple reschedules involving quietly changing restaurant plans and friend surprises, much to our joy, last weekend gave us the most amazing weather, and he went for it! When Nathan and Lily arrived on the beach, they slowly strolled along the shoreline while happily combing through the sand for seashells. When they reached about the halfway point, Nathan popped out the ring he’d been hiding, got down on one knee, and asked the question. [ read more … ]

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 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 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!

Redwoods have a special significance in Anthony & Taryn’s life together, as they enjoy hiking together and she was the one who first got him into it, so it would be a perfect setting to take it full circle! After considering several possible locations, Anthony decided on a park in Marin with redwood trees where they could go on a short stroll together. [ read more … ]
