After making engagement photos with Aubra and Justin for more than 3 hours, we can't wait for their October wedding! Aubra and Justin are both so easygoing and fun to be around (not to mention that Aubra is also a Tar Heel alum). This was my favorite kind of engagement shoot - leisurely exploring different parts of Oakland, looking for cool street scenes and art. We ended up in our old neighborhood near the Parkway Theater where we found some great light, shadows and colorful murals. They also brought along their adorable pup Lucy who joined in for the shoot. I happen to be an avid Oakland lover, and so I love these shoots that get to show off my city and feel so quintessentially "Oaklandish."
Who doesn't love a good stick fight?

We started off Miguel and Christy's engagement session at Lyon St. Steps in the Presdio before heading to Union Square for some urban and colorful photos. The light was amazing throughout the entire shoot, and I especially fell in love with the Louis Vuitton store front that had tons of brightly colored lights (above photo). Lucky for us, we took advantage of this display just in time because I was there about a week ago and they had swapped it out!
It was so wonderful to photograph Christy and Miguel - they are doing a long distance relationship right now since Christy is in school in San Diego, and you can tell they really value the time they get to spend with one another. We can't wait for their wedding next year in San Francisco!
