We knew there was something special about Alisha and Alan when they were totally game for having their consultation with us in a dive bar in Woodside. I was a little skeptical at first, but as soon as we all sat down, it was pretty clear we were going to get along great!
We always love doing engagement sessions in not only beautiful places, but ones that also have some kind of special meaning to the couple. So when Alisha said she wanted to take pictures in the spot where Alan asked her to be his girlfriend, we were all for it, and then when she said it was atop Bernal Heights, we were like, "Win, win!" The time we spent photographing Alisha and Alan felt just like hanging out with friends, and before we knew it, it had been almost four hours. Needless to say, we are really looking forward to their May wedding!
We don't normally do this, but the other day, when we were just driving along, we saw this nice looking couple carrying a bunch of cute outfits walking along the side of the road and so we stopped to pick them up. Okay, not exactly, but Ashley and Tom were walking through Crissy Field carrying their clothes when we met up with them for their engagement session. From there on out, it was all fun and games as Ashley and I had to separate Tom and Adm a couple of times since they just wanted to talk about comics, and we all shared the most delicious and exotic milkshakes ever at 
Why is it that some of our most memorable engagement sessions always include some kind of injury? Well, we can add Junie and Eddie's session to that list as Adm came away from the shoot with a big lump and bruise on his forehead. If you check out the ice cream photos at the bottom of this post, you'll notice that one is from a super high angle - that would be me shooting while on top of Adm's shoulders. Pretty impressive, eh? Unfortunately for Adm, during my climb to the top, I forgot to hold onto my cameras which ended up conking him in the head. Oops. Luckily, I was able to somewhat crawl my way out of the doghouse by immediately treating it with a delicious ice cream cone.
I don't know about you, but I love going to the river, drinking wine, photographing in great light, and walking along the waterfront. For most people, all these things would make for a packed weekend, but for Kerri and Kevin, it was just their engagement session. We started in Sausalito for some waterfront pictures near 
I am always looking forward to my next adventure, but in the middle of wedding season it can be hard to find the time for Adm and I to run off and have one. Instead, we have turned our engagement sessions into mini adventures. Alyssa and Drew were up for a tour of the North Bay and a little bit of trespassing in the Marin Headlands to get some photos of them in a giant horse barn. We had so much fun with them and can't wait until their wedding next summer. Plus, Alyssa's smile is completely contagious so how could we not have a blast with these two?
I have a lovely engagement session to share with you all today! Larabeth and Matt were so fun and patient as we dragged them from one end of San Francisco to another, starting in the Presidio and ending along the Embarcadero by way of North Beach and the batteries overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Larabeth loves design and so we had a great time hopping in and out of different kinds of doorways, garages and side walls as we explored North Beach. These two are running off to Australia for two weeks to combine their wedding (just the two of them) and honeymoon in June - doesn't that sound so romantic? Have the best time ever!
