Mega & Jason | Baker Beach | San Francisco Engagement Photography
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…
Raquel & Andy | Lullwater Park | Atlanta Engagement Photography
They share a love of travel and are often seeking new adventures. When they set out to go hiking in Argentine Patagonia, Raquel thought a proposal might be in the works, but she knew the custom ring they had gone shopping for couldn’t be ordered in time, so she let her suspicions slide. And then,…
Evelia & Joseph | Atlanta History Center | Atlanta Engagement Photography
I love the way she calls him Chana. It’s a little ball of endearment coated in love. I ask Evy what it means, and she laughs, saying she doesn’t even know if she’s even pronouncing it correctly. She probably puts a Spanglish spin on this Hindi word– Chana. Chickpea. But it’s perfect just the way…
Atlanta Sneak Peek
I am quickly falling behind on blogging because I am off enjoying Atlanta with its gorgeous springtime weather and blooms all around. Normally you can find all my sneak peeks on my Facebook page, but I am treating you all to a sneak peek right here today. Evy and Joe are amazing, amazing people, and…
Shelly & Mark | Palace of Fine Arts | San Francisco Engagement Photography
With the sand castles, the gorgeous weather, and the element of complete surprise, their proposal was perfect. If you missed Shelly & Mark’s proposal, you’ll need to head there first and come back when you’re done. After all the tears and the uncontrollable grins, such a wild spectrum of emotions, we headed back to our…
Shelly & Mark’s Surprise Proposal | China Beach, San Francisco Engagement Proposal!
They told her they were having “guy time,” and the three of them, Mark, Joe, and my brother Albert, ran off to conspire at the beach, leaving her behind with Nikki for the day. Shelly imagined the boys were hanging out a bar somewhere, watching the game. She certainly didn’t suspect this. She was on…
Silvia & James’ Engagement Session | Legion of Honor | San Francisco Engagement Photography
Sometimes, it rains. Literally, metaphorically, sometimes we have to adapt and change our plans. With some things going on in Silvia’s life and forecasts of rain for the week, we seriously considered cancelling the engagement shoot. But I am so very glad we didn’t. It became a reprieve from the rest of the world, a…
Connie & Tony | Downtown Los Angeles Engagement Photography
Theirs is an absolutely wonderful engagement story with just the right amount of theatricality. Last June, Tony brought Connie to see Wicked, one of their favorite musicals up in San Francisco’s Orpheum Theater. After the show, he had arranged everything for a sly backstage tour, and just to complete things, he even had “the green witch”…
Best of 2010: Engagement & Couples
I have been able to work with some of the most amazing couples this year. I’ve always loved photographing people in love, because it’s not as much about capturing my interaction with them as it is about getting them to interact genuinely with each other, and being able to capture that interchange. For all of…
Jenny & Kevin | LACMA | Los Angeles Engagement Photographer
They met through Craigslist! When Kevin was looking for housing for a summer internship in San Francisco, he came across Jenny’s apartment, which was being sublet for a summer. He didn’t end up living there; he didn’t even really get to know Jenny that well right away, but the connection was made. A couple years…
Kristen & Matt | Stanford Engagement Photographer
Their love is sugary sweet, a simple syrup poured out to melt your heart. Kristen is gentle, supportive, loving, reserved. And Matt is open and earnestly romantic, passionate about everything he loves. They have an unbounded excitement for each other, constantly finding reassurance in each other’s arms. We all went to Duke University together, where…
