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!

Sam and Bridget flew in to spend the long Labor Day weekend in San Francisco, a city where they had lived for a short time in the past. They took a long walk in the city, then made their way to Baker Beach on this beautiful sunny day.

Matt flew all the way from Texas to propose to his girlfriend Breanna in San Francisco. Like many others who propose while visiting our beautiful city, he was drawn to the iconic and recognizable Golden Gate Bridge. While there are many great spots near the bridge, almost all of them are quite busy and crowded, especially on a day with good weather. A secluded Golden Gate Bridge proposal is a special thing!

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 … ]
