Allison and Sean knew they wanted a true elopement, to pick up from their lives in Florida and to head somewhere else to tie the knot, no other people, no other fuss. And so they chose San Francisco City Hall, this most beautiful of venues, to do so. They had the loveliest of officiants, they…
Teresa and Steve were wed in a simple and beautiful ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. We met for a wonderful portrait session with just the two of them, and then their families joined them for their wedding. See just a few glimpses of the day below. Congratulations, Teresa & Steve! Anna Wu is…
I loved meeting Carolyn and Cynthia, two amazing women from NYC who have absolutely fallen in love with each other and are now the counterbalances in one another’s lives. Carolyn is a bit more serious, and Cynthia gregarious and fun-loving. But they are constantly laughing together and marveling over how lucky they are to have…
One of the first things I learned about Evangel and Edwin was how incredibly important the Coast Guard is in their lives, and soon after, I also learned how important their families are to them. Evangel grew up a child of the Coast Guard, with her father serving throughout her childhood. And Edwin is in…
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…
This session came together in a matter of days. Misoo and Damien live in New York, but with Misoo visiting home for the new year and Damien in town for work, we embraced the gorgeous California coast for a sunset session. The gorgeous couple, stunning light, and beautiful scenery all came together to make magic….

Christine and Bobby have different recollections about how they met, but technically it was through taekwondo at MIT. They were friendly. Bobby remembers making a veggie-friendly lasagna for their Christmas banquet in consideration of Christine since she’s a vegetarian. Christine remembers Bobby knowing that she liked animals and video games and him very sketchily inviting…
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 are coming up on Tiffany and Greg’s one-year anniversary from their New Year’s Eve wedding last year, so now was the perfect time to do one more photo session in San Francisco and also get some portraits for their holiday cards this year. We endured plenty of wind at Sutro Baths, but it turned…
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…

Lauren and Kodie met back in their hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia, and Lauren eventually followed Kodie out to San Francisco after he got a job here. They just recently gained two housemates who are also an…
