I loved meeting Mansi and Wes and trekking all over town for this fun engagement session. We covered a lot of ground, from Jackson Square through Chinatown and up to North Beach. San Francisco is still relatively new to these two, with Mansi having only joined Wes here right at the start of the pandemic,…
I’ve known Joyce pretty much since she was born, since our families were friends and we grew up occasionally meeting up in random parts of Michigan for holidays together. Although our mothers are still close friends, all of us kids have only kept loose tabs on each other since, so it was such an honor…
This was such a beautiful session, already two years in the making. Annsa and Arvind booked me back in 2019, and by the time they actually have their wedding, it will be three years later, in 2022. They have been incredibly thoughtful and wonderful through this crazy time, not only in the glimpses I’ve seen…
Kylen and Charlie met when Kylen was anchoring the news and Charlie was anchoring sports at a TV channel in Lexington, Kentucky. They started off as friends, but a New Year’s kiss sealed their fates as something more. They’ve now moved to California together, where they’re both anchoring sports, and we celebrated their engagement with…
Jayleen is a Puerto Rican, queer, non-binary badass. Kailer is a proud trans man and a veteran. And in a small, rural area of Pennsylvania that doesn’t really embrace queer folks, the universe conspired to bring them together. I was honored when Jayleen and Kailer came to me with the idea of a “just because”…
Elaine and Sean share a love of nature and exploring the outdoors, and they regularly go on long hikes with a nice bottle of wine in tow. After considering many possible locations for their engagement session, they set their hearts on this beautiful spot in Las Trampas Regional Wilderness Park in the East Bay. The…

I am delighted to share today this hearty dose of sunset magic and a brilliant love story that survives nine years of long distance and includes a marriage proposal in a lavender field which each of them had driven over ten hours to reach, in the midst of a pandemic. Cynthia and Erik met in…
This was such a fun little proposal, complete with a musical performance by the two grooms-to-be, backgrounded by the golden gate bridge. Nigel’s plan was to tell Ritchie they would dress up and meet their friends in the park to play some music. Of course, this being a pandemic and the whole premise being completely…
It was so lovely to see my friends Jeri and Dan for their engagement session. These days it feels like a surprise when anything actually goes according to plan, and this was a date that we had scheduled months and months in advance. Luckily, it was a beautiful, smoke-free day, and the San Jose Municipal…
It was so fun to photograph this engagement-turned-surprise-proposal for Pre and Nav. Earlier this year, Nav asked Pre to marry him, and she joyfully said yes. It was a beautiful, if low-key proposal, given the circumstances of the pandemic. As they planned for their engagement portraits with me, Nav decided that he would love to…
Meet-cute: wedding. Tina was a bridesmaid at her friend’s wedding, when her friend, the bride, called her and Alex out in her speech for being single. Alex came over to say hi, and they started a bicoastal long-distance relationship between New York and San Francisco, until Tina joined him in San Francisco. They’ve traveled the…
