It had been sunny all weekend, but the fog rolled in just as we started our session, and the Golden Gate Bridge was nowhere to be seen. Sarah and Nathan didn’t even care. True San Franciscans, they chalked it up to normal conditions, and we carried on with our foggy, moody, absolutely beautiful engagement session….
I absolutely love photographing surprise proposals! This one was so simple and sweet, filled with last-minute improvisation from our Florida couple and the most gratifying expressions of surprise and excitement from Luciana. I’ll let her tell the full story below! From Luciana: “Scott and I met one year ago in Miami. I had been running around…
I had so much fun running around one of my favorite places in San Francisco with Laura and Steve for their engagement session: the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA)! Here are a few of my favorites below. Love that Serra installation. Love this one. So sweet! Light & bright under the oculus. Some Cy…
It’s such a joy to get to photograph friends all over the country. While I was in Chicago two weeks ago, I met up with Angie and Randy for their engagement session downtown. We explored the beautiful mosaic-covered Chicago Cultural Center and wandered over to Millenium Park where Randy had proposed. See some of my favorites…
I absolutely loved working with Shelley and Anthony for their gorgeous engagement session on Mount Tamalpais.

It’s always an immense joy and a privilege when I get to photograph my friends. I’ve known Pauline for closer to two decades than one, and I also photographed her sister’s wedding a few years ago. For Pauline’s engagement session with her fiance Justin, we wandered along the Embarcadero in San Francisco, hit up the iconic Ferry Building,…
Have I mentioned how much I love photographing surprise proposals? This one was such a treat. Derrick lives in the Philippines while his girlfriend Vanessa lives here in California, so he planned the proposal from afar, including meeting me over videochat to discuss the details. Both their families were there as part of Derrick’s visit…
I absolutely loved this surprise proposal! It was such a rainy day that Bryan wasn’t sure he would be able to propose outside by the Golden Gate Bridge as he hoped. We planned a rain contingency and a contingency for that contingency. But when the time came, the rain held off and we had a…
Mixing photography and travel is one of my greatest joys in life. A couple weeks ago, I got to meet Liz and Cameron in their adopted hometown of Sydney, Australia. These two will be wed in California later this year, but we got explore a corner of Sydney together for their engagement session. Such a…
Elizabeth and Derek are a wonderful pair of old souls who share a love of rugby, architecture, old films, and their Golden Retriever Stella. I met up with them in the Oakland hills for their engagement session at Joaquin Miller Park. Despite an overcast day, we got to create some beautiful portraits lit up with personality. See…
This is one of my favorite traditions each December: photographing Shau-ru & Ed and their dog Ellie. We have a whole series of wonderful portrait sessions at this point. This year, for their fourth wedding anniversary, we headed to Baker Beach and let Ellie frolick in the sand (one of her favorite things to do) with the…
