Tracy + Frank Engaged!

Before each engagement session, we go through a planning process with our couples to make sure we're going to come away with images that reflect them.  There is a lot of back and forth between us to get the locations, outfits, all those details just right.  Adm and I pride ourselves on how well we plan so that we can do a good job responding to all the little things that can go wrong on engagement shoots and even wedding days.

On the day of Tracy and Frank's engagement, our plan had to compete with reality. The erratic winds of the Marin Headlands caused us to abandon the beach and head back across the bridge.   After three stops in the Presidio we were back on track and scurried our way through downtown, chasing the light so we could hit Potrero Hill as the sun went down.  We may have broken some traffic laws, but as you can see above, we made it just in time.  Tracy and Frank are getting married this summer and if the care and thoughtfulness that went into their engagement session is any indication of the wedding to come, I know we're in for a real treat!

Megan + Willie Engagement

When Adm and I first got together, we used to go on photo walks where we'd just meander through a neighborhood, taking in our surroundings, looking for the good light, and photographing whatever we wanted.  This engagement session felt kind of like one of those walks as we just wandered through the Financial District and parts of Potrero Hill early on a Saturday morning.  Shooting in the FiDi is really fun because light gets reflected off of so many surfaces - most notably the tall buildings but also the sparkly sidewalks.  Megan and Willie were such great sports about sitting on the curb of busy streets as passersby went about their day.  They also introduced me to some great views in Potrero Hill before ending at the Anchor Steam Brewery.  We're looking forward to their fall wedding in Hopland!
