I loved meeting up with Yannie and Howard and their little dog Foxy in their neighborhood park for this beautiful engagement session. It’s always fun for me to explore a new spot, and it’s always more meaningful if the couple picks a location that has some personal significance to them! See some of my favorites…

Parul and Yogi first met through a mutual friend. As the friend stepped away on a phone call, the two began talking. From the start, Parul noticed Yogi’s sense of curiosity and Yogi noticed how wonderful and caring Parul is. They’ve been together for over six years since. In advance of their big wedding in…
Carolyn and Cynthia perfectly balance one another, with Carolyn’s quiet ambition and grounded sense of self complementing Cynthia’s joy, energy, and charm. The two first met at their local Crossfit gym in Manhattan, and with a bit of thoughtful creativity (or light stalking), Carolyn eventually worked up an excuse for the them to hang out…
Between Denicia’s three jobs and Mark’s parenting and demanding job as a lawyer, these two might never have met were it not for the magic of modern dating apps. But thankfully, after connecting online, they immediate clicked in conversation. After setting a date for a Friday, they got so eager to meet each other that…
Maddi and Kangway first met on a graduate school visit weekend in Urbana, Illinois, Kangway’s hometown. The chemistry (yes, that’s what they were studying) was apparent. They have since moved together to Pasadena, Boston, and now the Bay Area. They are always there for each other, nerding out on Harry Potter and superhero movies, debating…
High in the hills, overlooking Malibu, the four of us marveled at our surroundings. What a stunning place to be wed. None of us were from the area– the three of them having come from Chicago and me from the Bay Area– but so many threads had pulled together for us to be there in…
Christine and Hanlin have have known each other since high school, although it didn’t always register (to Christine) that there might be interest beyond a friendship.

Alexandria and Tom met as juniors at UC Berkeley when they took a film class about monster movies together. They’ve lived together in Berkeley for the decade ever since.

Although they are getting married in California next year, Jen and Gary live in Seattle and decided to fly me up there for their engagement session so we could include their corgi Daisy in the session. We drove two hours north of Seattle and explored Rosario Beach on the shores of Washington State. Despite forecasts…
Mt. Tam always delivers. Whether sunny or foggy, there’s a special magic about being in the hills above the city. Out in nature and yet able to spot San Francisco right there in the distance. We traveled to Mt Tamalpais on a weekday for Christine and Hanlin’s engagement session and were rewarded with a beautiful…
