Mike & Katie traveled from out of state to visit San Francisco this month, and Mike had the perfect proposal lined up. On a weekday morning about a week ago, the two walked along the Embarcadero onto Pier 7. About halfway down the pier, Mike popped the big question, and we were so lucky to have been witnesses to this amazing proposal. I could feel Katie just bursting with joy as she literally jumped up and down shouting “YES!!!” and hugged her fiance. Meanwhile, Mike presented a cool and collected demeanor, but inside, I could tell he was incredibly excited — he didn’t even hear her say yes 🙂 [ read more … ]

Stephanie & David’s love story began with her waiting in line for coffee one Sunday afternoon with Murphy, her adorable Yorkie. David bumped into them, fell in love with Murphy (who wouldn’t!?) and Stephanie, and the rest is history. So it’s only appropriate that we included some coffee time with the pooch in their engagement session! [ read more … ]

I absolutely adore Josh & Dylan’s cute love story! They actually met in FIRST GRADE (!!) and finally decided to go on their first date while in college, then visited Battery Spencer afterwards to enjoy the grand view of the Golden Gate Bridge. About a week ago, they revisited the Bridge again — and this time, Josh brought with him a big surprise in a little box! I’m so excited to share these photos of this special moment, beautiful couple, and gorgeous backdrop. Congrats you two!

Purbasa & Nava first met in 2014, not long after she had moved to the SF Bay Area from the midwest. They went on their first date at the Punchline comedy club, and for six months, developed their relationship and enjoyed their time together in the Bay Area — stargazing at Ed Levine County Park, traveling, trying new restaurants, and cooking together. Although Purbasa had to move back to the midwest for work, they kept their long-distance relationship strong. (Further proof that long-distance can work!) [ read more … ]

Ryan & Mia made a day trip from Stockton to San Francisco one beautiful, sunny morning last weekend. Ryan came to propose to his lovely girlfriend, of course, while the unsuspecting Mia thought she was here for an innocuous work event. Ryan and his mom Lisa had put together a very well-done “Day on the Bay” flyer for a work cruise, departing from Pier 7, that they were to attend.

Once they arrived at the wooden pier, Ryan knelt down on one knee and showed her the ring while a small group of onlookers paused to cheer. Mia had the absolute cutest reaction ever — look at the excitement and joy not only on her face, but also expressed by her hands and feet! Congrats you two!
