Anniversary sessions are such a wonderful way to continue the tradition of celebrating and photographing your love story over the years. It was especially lovely to do this shoot with Shau-Ru and Ed after documenting their wedding day with Seaglass Cinema last year, complete with Ed serenading Shau-Ru down the aisle. This time around, we…
They met their senior year of high school, and they have been together for almost a decade since. Katie is incredibly thoughtful and selfeless, and Chris is perpetually happy and supportive. Katie is always the planner, while Chris likes to throw new things into the mix, which sometimes results in hilarious and wonderful (but stressful at…
Happy Anniversary, Jenny & Kevin! Today is the actual date that marks two years from their wedding. I love that we have an annual tradition of doing a photoshoot together. It’s been so much fun celebrating their relationship over the years and flexing our creativity muscles so that no two shoots are ever the same….
Gemma and Kevin have been so fun to work with. Their warmth and sincerity are just so lovely to be around. They chose the Tiburon trail for their engagement photos– a place they used to frequent together– and it was the perfect setting. Romance surrounded by nature. Such sweetness.
We kicked things off with a drink at one of their favorite brunch spots, Buck’s. Tucked away in town of Woodside, Buck’s is a warm, cozy joint– the perfect place to start off an adorable engagement session. The shoot was filled with sweetness and laughter, and I had so much fun with Emilie and Marcus roaming…
They probably would have never crossed paths or met in Boston, but seeing Tracy in a Red Sox hat watching a Red Sox game at a crappy sports bar in San Francisco totally gave Jeff an opening line. They discovered that they grew up fifteen miles from each other in Boston, but having both spent…
This session was full of laughs and sweetness. Kerry, a teacher, and Erik, an actor/comedian/writer, were visiting from Los Angeles, and I had such a fun time with them, shooting in San Francisco’s Mission District and at Crissy Fields.
This is an engagement I’ve been looking forward to for a while now. You may remember my friends Sun and Elliot from their portrait session a year ago, before they were engaged, just as they were about to embark on a year of long distance across San Francisco and Vietnam. Well, they made it through…
Joy and Timmy are expecting! Despite forecasts of rain, we lucked out on some gorgeous sunlight instead. It took a little bit of convincing for me to assure Tim that we weren’t going to create super awkward maternity photos (because yes, there are so many super awkward maternity photos out there in the world). But he…
Christine has a cheerful demeanor, an easy smile that breaks across her face and leaves an endearing little dimple on her left cheek. Scott is sharp-witted, a quiet observer, but always willing to indulge and humor those around him. They’ve been inseparable for years, and it’s fun to watch how they support one another. It was…
2011 was filled with the most amazing couples. I got to shoot engagement sessions in New York, Atlanta, Seattle, and of course all over the Bay Area. I photographed a surprise proposal on the beach, a really disgusting (or is it cute?) gum wall, and even a baby pig! You can see it all for yourself below….
The incredible story of how they met spans 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada on foot. They had each embarked– separately, still strangers– on the Pacific Crest Trail at the California-Mexico border, Debby leading by two days without a clue that her future husband was trailing behind her. It wasn’t until three and a half…
