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…
5000 miles could not keep them apart. While they grew up in two very different places– Gemma in Ireland and Kevin in California– fate brought them together in the beautiful city of San Francisco.

We slurped the slimy little lumps from their shells, taking in a dollop of homemade cocktail sauce and an occasional bit of shell or sprinkling of sand with it. It’s a magical thing of cognitive dissonance to look at these unattractive little…
