I met J & D for their engagement session on a blustery day when Karl the Fog was out in full force. But they were such good sports, and they braved the wind for these beautiful portraits at Baker Beach and Crissy Field, a classic San Francisco session. See a few of my favorites below:…
We unknowingly chose the warmest day of the year so far for Alyssa and Mark’s engagement session, but we dodged the crowds to capture these beautiful sun-kissed engagement portraits. And we even got some extra local flavor in one of the shots, as you’ll see below. :) Congrats, Alyssa & Mark! Looking forward to your…
We already got a sneak peek of Natalie and Ford since they combined their engagement session with their housemates Lauren and Kodie, but today we get to see a bit more from these two! They are high school sweethearts who met in Virginia and then went to school together at UVA. They then lived together…
Say hello to Lauren and Kodie and their labradoodle Royce, whom everyone notes looks a whole lot like Kodie. Lauren and Kodie met back in their hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia, and Lauren eventually followed Kodie out to San Francisco after he got a job here. They just recently gained two housemates who are also an…
Agnes and Stephen usually live down in Southern California, but they spent a couple months up in San Francisco this summer and wanted to capture their short time here with a fun portrait session. What we didn’t anticipate was that baby Sullivan would throw a protest halfway through the session and completely fall asleep! Being…
Alyssa and Kevin actually met the old-fashioned way, just strangers at a bar. They couldn’t stop staring at each other from across the room all night, until one of Alyssa’s friends had to finally walk up to Kevin and ask him if he would stop staring and just talk to her already. Well, they started…
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…
Standing at Land’s End, where San Francisco meets the Pacific Ocean, they braced themselves against the whipping of the wind. Holding each other close, they carved out their own little space together. I love these two and their gorgeous two-part engagement session. Can’t wait for the wedding later this year! Hair & Makeup: Julianne, Prettyologie Anna Wu…
They met on twitter before twitter was even popular. Both software developers, Jane and Kevin found their perfect matches in one another. They share a love of cartoons and comics, which was manifested in an Adventure Time-themed cake at their wedding. They also love their adopted cat, who willingly supervised the scene as they got…
Julie and Jeremy’s proposal story, as told by them: Jeremy proposed to Julie exactly on their three year anniversary in front of the Golden Gate Bridge (this is where they first asked each other out!). Julie sleeps in on weekends, so Jeremy woke up early and frantically checked the weather all morning on public webcams…
They met at work, and what began as friendship for over a year slowly turned into a romantic relationship. And then that turned Joe into a man with a plan and a question on Stinson Beach– Will you marry me? Of course, Catherine said yes. Over the years, Catherine and Joe have grown to find…
She knew from the beginning, even before he asked her to be his girlfriend, that she wanted to marry him. It was over videochat that he introduced her to his adorable nephews who were sitting on his lap. Jason had little Justin ask the first question– will you be my uncle choo–choo’s girlfriend? And Mega…
