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…
When Grant started thinking about proposing to Glenna, he knew he wanted to include her two kids in the proposal too. They would all be traveling together to San Francisco for the first time, a place that Glenna has always wanted to visit. And so Grant trusted the kids to be in on the surprise…
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…
The universe conspired together with Luciana’s sister Paula and her friend Augusto to set up this incredibly sweet love story. Luciana and her sister Paula live in Brazil, but Paula was visiting San Francisco when she unfortunately injured her back and was sent to emergency spinal surgery. Paula was on the next flight out. Wanting…
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…
Kelly and Matt first met in business school, with both of them a bit shy at first and reluctant to lock in to a relationship. But they quickly shed their commitment-phobic ways when they found how much better life is with each other. After a few years of dating and year and a half of a bicoastal long…
I loved exploring the north side of the Golden Gate with Liz and Ryan on their engagement session. We hiked up to Battery Spencer and down to Kirby Cove, with varied scenes and an abundance of beautiful sights all along the way. See a few of my favorites below! Anna Wu is a wedding and…
Surprise proposals are one of my absolute favorite things to photograph. The excitement! The thoughtful planning! I loved working with Oliver to help him capture his surprise for Molly. I’ll let them tell the story below. From Oliver: Molly and I met online (this was really my first time ever trying this). After a wonderful…
I love catching up on client albums this time of year. With Karen and Casey, we went for a simple, elegant design encased in this beautiful gunmetal gray leather. Full spreads are my favorite! Love this super windy portrait of them under the Golden Gate. Again, we’re keeping it simple with clean layouts. No crazy…
Laura grew up in Los Angeles; Steve grew up in New York; and they both landed in San Francisco, where they met, fell in love, and pledged to stay together forever. Day to day, she might be busy saving lives as a doctor while he is working his serious office job in tech, but put them together, and you’ll start to see their silly…
Pauline and Justin were wed on a beautifully sunny day in San Francisco, surrounded by family and friends. The day was an absolutely perfect blend of tears (25%) and laughter (75%), as this East Coast transplant and San Francisco native tied the knot. Loved the pink and coral mix-and-match bridesmaids’ dresses. They coordinated so perfectly! And…
