Tammy & Justin | Thomas Fogarty Winery | Bay Area Engagement Photography
We were treated to the full gamut of Bay Area weather in the span of Tammy and Justin’s engagement shoot. We met at the beautiful Thomas Fogarty Winery atop a hill in Woodside, and a cloudy session gave way to full sunshine, clouds, simultaneous sun and fog, and finally, complete fog. Tammy’s radiant smile shined…
