A fine time frolicking in the ocean, for sure ;) My favorites are definitely the ocean photos – the waves were huge that day! And of course, the reenactment of Lady & the Tramp. ;)
marin headlands + fog + tunnels + mossy & overgrown trees = <3
. . . . . . .
Part two of the fantastic engagement session that was Jenny & Terry’s! We headed to the Marin Headlands because that was where they got engaged, but lo and behold, once we arrived to the site, it was totally crazy foggy! Nevertheless, I was in love with it, it created such a drastic and moody mood from what we had before. And they were such troopers cause it was COLD! The whole day was quite the adventure, with it ending in the car battery dying and being stranded at SFSU! But it certainly made for a memorable day, and memorable images :)
Can’t wait for the wedding!
san francisco ferry building + fun & lovely moments = <3
. . . . . . . .
Even though I grew up visiting San Francisco, there were still lots of places in the city that I never visited before, one being the Ferry Building! Jenny & Terry chose this spot to be their first location for their engagement session, and we had so much fun walking around and exploring – especially me! We tried macarons from Miette, ate delicious Thai food across the street, and just plain enjoyed ourselves. :) Thats one of the many reasons I love engagement sessions – just hanging out with my couple!
Part two coming up next, wait till you see how the fog rolled in!
(& isn’t that shot of Terry carrying all my cameras awesome? Apparently I was quite the sight walking around the Ferry building taking photos with a bazillion cameras strapped to me because people were taking photos of ME! lol)
french cafes + CUTE DOG + miho truck + ice cream + games + awesome fantastic people = <3
warning, a massive amount of adorable dog photos ahead (and her adorable owners as well ;))
. . . . . . . . . .
I could live in the expressions of the Sadie buns. She is too cute to handle! So are Lindsay and Tyler, who are awesome beyond belief. We trekked around South Park and visited the ever lovely Cafe Madeline, ran across the Miho truck, and got some ice cream at Daily Scoop before heading over to the park to play some games. It was a grand time. I love how engagement sessions are pretty much hours spent with friends. :)
wine + awesome people + wandering around the railroad tracks = <3
. . . . . . .
Who knew what you would find a block radius of a railroad track? Sometimes keeping it simple is the best way for a shoot because it forces me to look at things creatively (like ditches!) and create some fun images in an unlikely spot. Many times a shoot will just form based on whim, and very little deliberate planning. That’s what happened with Marisa & Drayson’s shoot, we planned to meet at a wine bar, and decided to just take it wherever the wind took us from there! Which is how we ended up shooting in such a small area, and coming away with some really great & amazing images. It also helps to have such fabulous people ;)
Can’t wait for the wedding!
vintage flair + tater tots + NO RAIN! = <3
. . . . . . . .
what do you do after an engagement session? go to a bar and have drinks and egg & nacho covered tater tots, of course! with a side of roasted brussel sprouts that taste like popcorn. :) mmm so good. :) i had so much fun getting to know these two lovelies, photographing them, and getting to know all their awesomeness. <3
