Catherine & Ryan’s Save-the-Date Photos at Baker Beach | San Francisco Portrait Photographer

Ryan followed Catherine to California from Omaha over a year ago. He just moved back to Omaha the weekend after our photo shoot, and this time, Catherine will follow him there. They decided to have their save-the-date photos taken at Baker Beach to document their wonderful journey together here in the Bay Area. The day was a little overcast which made Catherine’s dress color pop in the photos (really pretty!) AND more importantly, we got the whole beach completely to ourselves and got some great shots!

On the morning before they were to leave the city, Roy used “touring the hotel” as his cover for leading Claire up to the gorgeous penthouse unit and onto the balcony with a stunning view of the San Francisco skyline.

Jessica & Mike’s Fun Engagement Photos at Baker Beach | Bay Area Wedding Photographer

We had such a fun time shooting engagement photos for Jessica & Mike at Baker Beach. These two sure are a lively and merry couple, and their personalities really show in these photos. They were both constantly laughing and smiling, never keeping the same expressions for more than a moment, leading to lots of great, natural photos. Their wedding is in just three months, and we can’t wait to be there. I can only imagine what a blast that will be!
