Kathryn and Ryan’s sweet hilltop engagement at Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park was a blast from the past. The pair carefully picked this location due to its special meaning to them. It was a place they had spent time together in their early years of dating. It was so sweet that we were now able to photograph them as fiancé and fiancée here amongst the rolling hills and giant trees.

Josie and Sammy’s Lovers Lane engagement session in the Presidio district of San Francisco had all the enchanted forest vibes! The two came dressed to kill in a gorgeous blush pink, floor length dress with lace detail, and crisp light blue button up that coordinated perfectly. The two sauntered, twirled, and snuggled up together inside the iconic tree lined lane.

Sammi and Kevin’s magical engagement session brought us to the Roman-feeling Palace of Fine Arts and the gorgeous cityscape view at Ina Coolbrith park in San Francisco. The pair arrived looking so sharp in a beautiful, flowy pink gown and sharp sport coat and slacks. Their second location involved a quick outfit change and some super fun oversized balloons! Together they laughed, twirled, and sauntered under the setting sun during our session that will forever be worth remembering!

Jamie & Abe’s sweet engagement session was a light filled dream! Together at Lover’s Lane in San Francisco, they snuggled, danced, and laughed among the eucalyptus trees, golden sun streaming in around them. Jamie wore a stunning blush Lulus dress with Abe in a sharp white button up and blue slacks. Together they absolutely glowed the entire session!

Nicole & Danny’s Sutro Baths San Francisco engagement session was a magical seaside sunset rendezvous. The pair came dressed to kill in a formal blush gown and sharp black suit, and battled the elements (I’m looking at your San Francisco coastal winds!) with grace and beauty. Together they sauntered, cuddled, and danced around the breezy rocky ruins as we captured some stunning and elegant shots!

Legion of Honor is a favorite San Francisco engagement location of mine for obvious reasons. The gorgeous white stone walls, columns, and floors transport you to a grand Parisian building and make you forget completely that you are in the heart of San Francisco. You’d never be able to tell from the photos that this session took place during a bustling time with tourists streaming in and out of the art museum!

Tricia perfectly summed up what our magical engagement session with her and her fiancé at the regal San Francisco City Hall was like. “I feel like I’ve stepped into Beauty and the Beast!” she told me as we looked around the grand interior with awe. There was no short of amazing photo spots for us here.

Photographing high school sweethearts is always such a blessing. To hear and learn about my couple’s rich history has they grew up and experienced life together always humbles me! So when Tiffany and Jericho told me that they had known each other for 14 years, I knew it was going to be a session with a couple so in sync and comfortable with each other, that we would have no choice other than to have an absolute blast! Tiffany and Jericho’s engagement session at Shell Ridge Open Space in Walnut Creek was a beautiful evening spent strolling through the trees, twirling in the flower fields, and cuddling among some giant boulders.

A good friend of mine was scheduled to photograph this gorgeous couple’s ten year anniversary session, but was put on bed rest by her doctor as she nears her delivery due date with son number two. So when she asked if I would capture this beautiful couple for her in my favorite indoor location – San Francisco City Hall – I simply could not refuse! However, this session was more than any old anniversary session. This session was extra special as Stephine and Matt had tied the knot nearly ten years early in this exact same spot in City Hall! Not to mention the pair came outfitted in the most perfect attire complete with fresh florals and Steph in a stunning designer gown!

Adrienne & Ryan’s sunset engagement session in Vasona County Lake Park in Los Gatos was nothing short of stunning. We start our session on a gorgeous, warm summer evening just as the golden sun was starting to lower in the sky. The pair came dressed so beautifully- Adrienne in a slate blue flowy gown and Ryan in a sharp button up and slacks. But my favorite things they brought to their session was their accessories and props! Adrienne had the sweetest sun hat that made her look oh-so-romantic. Not only that but they also brought some yummy Boba drinks from their favorite spot! Keep reading to see the meaning behind the Boba!
