Michelle and Alen are such a lovely couple, who I am lucky enough to call family. We are all so excited for the two of them to finally be welcoming a baby boy into their lives, adding to their family and other baby, their labrador Willow. We spent a wonderful evening in Morgan Hill, and I hope you enjoy these gorgeous photos!
I was so thrilled when my good friend Megan reached out to me about her sister's surprise proposal. I think every photographer is waiting for the day they finally get to capture such a special moment for a couple. We made plans for me to hang out in the dunes of Ocean Beach, while Josh took Caitlin on a walk before he got down on one knee on a blanket that I had set out for them. The moment was beautiful, just the two of them perched on top of a beautiful sand dune in San Francisco.
A big congrats to Josh and Caitlin - Let the planning begin!
Jenn + Andrew chose to do their engagement photos in and around their Mission District home in San Francisco, and we ended our day at Sutro Heights Park where Andrew popped the question earlier this year. These two are so comfortable and downright cute together, that you'll just have to look for yourself!
Jenn + Andrew are getting married in the northern California coastal town of Gualala this next September, and I can't wait to be there to capture their big day!
Colleen and Robert's engagement session in San Francisco was a beautiful example of the different landscapes you can find in this incredible city! We started our day in the quaint and colorful neighborhood of Cow Hollow that was bursting with blooming bougainvillea, and ended on the golden, rocky coastline of the Sutro Baths in the Outer Richmond.
These two are so in love, and it is so evident in these photos. Enjoy!
I had the amazing opportunity to attend Danielle Poff's spring intimate workshop this April, and let me tell you - it was beautiful! Danielle's workshop is not only amazingly beautiful, it is jam packed with business tools and advice for wedding photographers. I was so happy to have spent the day with 10 amazing women, and learning the ropes from a pro like Danielle!
Big thank you to all of the vendors that made this day magical! Info below.
