Amy and Alec share a HUGE love of hiking and the great outdoors, so right off the bat, we knew there was no better setting possible for their incredible engagement session than in the wilderness of Yosemite National Park. It was the perfect meeting ground between Los Angeles (where Amy and Alec live) and San […]

Seven hours. Six locations. Three dresses and multiple hair and makeup changes along the way (courtesy of the ultra-talented Fiona of Urban Beauty Loft!). With stops for portraits beginning in San Francisco all the way across the Golden Gate Bridge to Mill Valley and Sausalito, this incredible California pre-wedding session with Joyce and Norman was […]

I can’t get enough of these sunset engagement sessions! I recently traveled up to scenic Mount Tamalpais State Park with Erica and Stephen, and the views there definitely didn’t disappoint. These two both work in the medical field with absolutely INSANE alternating schedules, and our time together was one of the only days that month […]

The botanical garden at Tilden Park is one of my favorite getaways in the East Bay. It’s very quiet and tucked away, especially compared to the nearby Berkeley Botanical Gardens (another wonderful place to visit if you ever get the chance!). There’s very little foot traffic at this particular garden, which means you can wander […]

When Kristina and Harminder first reached out to me earlier this year, I knew right away that they were exactly the kind of couple that I love spending time with most! They’re both crazy adventurous – Harminder actually proposed to Kristina during the middle of a two-day hike in Kauai! – and love just hanging […]

Almost three years into living here in the Bay Area, and I’m still horribly sentimental about the sights and sounds that come with living at the edge of the world. I’m so glad I got to share this experience with Carly and Luis, who traveled all the way to San Francisco from Atlanta, GA for […]

The light truly loves these two. Waking up before sunrise to explore the quiet morning scenes of San Francisco with Liz and Wes was worth every single minute of lost sleep. I typically recommend conducting engagement sessions either early in the day or later towards the evening, for a variety of reasons from ideal lighting […]

What do you get when you combine a stunning couple with their shared love of exploration? These two spent several weekends scouting multiple locations for unique photo backdrops, and thanks to their hard work in planning, I’m so excited to share these incredibly beautiful engagement photos! From San Francisco’s Botanical Gardens to, literally, Land’s End, […]
