engagement
On a drizzly San Francisco afternoon, Clarissa and Khadijah met me at the top of San Francisco to take these dreamy engagement photos. When the drizzle stopped, the diffusion of sun through the clouds brought these Sophia-Coppola-Marie-Antoinette vibes to life. A wonderful way to celebrate love with dear friends!
Another engagement session with one of my favorites! This is now my third session with Maya; we previously shot photos for the Womxn of Color Collective Portrait Project and her law school graduation. It was such a treat to feel the love the between these two. The only one who loves Maya more than Jason, is the camera!
Will and Haley are my first good friends from high school to get engaged, and I jumped at the chance to take their engagement photos. They worked around my moving schedule, and we were able to find a day to meet at one of my favorite photo locations, Joaquin Miller Park, to celebrate their engagement and new puppy. Juno definitely stole the show!
Victoria’s back! And this time, she brought Julian. I was so excited to celebrate their engagement. I had a vision of the two of them in front of a wall of plants, so when we realized that the Conservatory of Flowers would be closed, I didn’t realize it was a blessing in disguise. Instead of sticking to the one building, we explored the surrounding park and got this rainbow of backdrops. Between the location and the beautiful golden hour, the photos came out *chef’s kiss*
Who knew that one friend’s referral would turn into such a cute session?! Working with Ruben & Kevin was such a pleasure. Their love was obvious from every interaction that I witnessed and they were pleasures to work with. It is not everyday that you meet a couple that is so open to trying new things and holding uncomfortable poses. I am so excited for these guys to get married! What a beautiful pair!
I met Prince when I started working at Peet’s five years ago. I met Vern when Prince shared his Salmon burger recipe with me a few months later. Now, two of my favorite people are getting married and I could not be more excited. And, obviously, I was going to take their engagement photos.
Prince was going for a Beyonce & Jay Z On The Run-feel, so it had to be black and white. We chose Joaquin Miller Park to emulate the big empty fields in the original. And, of course, the outfits were on point.
I love how sweet these photos turned out and I am counting down the days until the wedding.
