Eugene and Gemma got engaged and married in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic, and as a result, they didn’t get to take a set of photos back then 🙁 And now that they’re husband and wife and we’re all free to roam around the city again, they decided that it’s time! We took this opportunity to get them back into a set of wedding attire and a couple of more casual outfits, and we created a set of SF wedding portraits at some of the most classic and iconic locations around the city. A big belated congratulations to E&G on getting married and surviving the pandemic together!

This time more than any, I really love shooting in open spaces that let me fully take advantage of the golden light. I had a great time hitting a few different spots with Angela and Rafferty for their golden hour engagement shoot, and the long grass and sand dunes at Ocean Beach are especially perfect under the warm sunset glow!
