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.

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 … ]
