Laurie & Dominic ~ Engagement Session

What a fun session I had with Laurie & Dominic! We started at Baker Beach, then headed down towards the Embarcadero, stopping at the cable car turnstyle. The sleeping driver was nice enough not to mind while we hopped on for a few pics! ;)

The last shots were with Coit Tower in the background, which is where Dominic proposed - so sweet! Lots of faves from this session, especially the moving cable car shots! Loving the Canon 85mm 1.2L lens too - shooting wide open - just dreamy!!!

Laurie & Dominic are getting married on July 19th at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga. Laurie & Dominic are so sweet together, and incredibly nice people to be around - I can't wait to photograph their wedding day!

The Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park is where Katherine & Charles went on their FIRST DATE! So cute!

We had so much fun exploring the many beautiful areas within the garden. It was a gorgeous day with sweet afternoon light. Here are some faves from the garden:





Katherine & Charles think they may have a picture from their first date in front of the pagoda - I think we should post it too!!! =)


And the CHERRY BLOSSOMS! Nature's perfect complimentary palette of rich brown and the palest pink, and cherry blossoms are both elegant and artful in their bloom... and so fleeting. I'm glad we caught one this season!


Then off to Baker Beach for some quintessential San Francisco shots!





Katherine & Charles are getting married soon... May 18th at the Embassy Suites in Burlingame. I'm looking forward to photographing their beautiful day! Register on their Pictage site to be notified when their wedding images are released online.

Stephanie & Tim ~ Engagement Session

I'm finally catching up on some recent engagement sessions!

Stephanie & Tim will be married this June at Saint Dominic's Church in San Francisco, then will head to the Green Room at the War Memorial Building for their reception. Two gorgeous locations, two beautiful people, so in love... it's sure to be an amazing event! As if that weren't enough... Flowergirl is the floral designer for this event (flowergirl of course, is my one and only most amazing & talented sister, Shari!).

Stephanie & Time are so sweet and affectionate with one another. We had such a fun session and found some beautiful light as well... in the trees near the Legion of Honor and also along the beach at Baker Beach. You can view more of their session via their slideshow.

Here are a few faves from the session. Enjoy!

Danielle & Nick ~ Baker Beach, North Beach & San Francisco Cable Cars

Danielle & Nick met in San Francisco, so for their engagement session we took a tour of some of their favorite spots. It rained all the night before, and part of the morning too, but that afternoon for the shoot, the clouds parted and we had gorgeous weather. We started at Baker Beach for some fun shots at the old Barracks and on the sand with the Golden Gate Bridge.







Next we went to North Beach, to the corner of Mason & Filbert, close to Nick's old apartment and where it all began.









And of course we couldn't miss the opportunity to jump on a Cable Car for some fun shots. I love San Francisco!


I had such a good time getting to know these two better. And they have so much fun together!



It's a beautiful thing.
