You guys. The trees in Half Moon Bay are epic. Like mindblowingly so. I have Monica & Roger to thank for introducing me to the beautiful location, where I just keep oogling at the trees. And the light. And of course the adorable couple in front of me. :) Just one image & two polaroids for now. More to come.
m + j = <3

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. :)
bowling + a crazy adorable couple + magic light = <3
. . . . . . . .
I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again (and again) – it is so much fun to be able to photograph weddings and couples because it allows me to reconnect with old friends from the past in ways that I probably would not have been able to do otherwise. Maryal and I have known one another since high school (doing the school musical together!) and I probably would not have reconnected with her again had she not reached out to me to photograph her wedding which will be taking place next year in Northern California. And I am so thrilled to be a part of it! These two are so adorable, and I loved being able to run around in my old stomping grounds for their engagement session. :) One thing I definitely don’t miss about Sacramento though – the mosquitos! I still have scars from this session! Crazy mosquitos. But, it was all worth it for these beautiful images. <3
Also, one of the best parts was Maryal’s response after getting her engagement proofs:
Hehe, such responses make me so happy. <3
