Veronica & Paul J | San Francisco | Ferry Building Marketplace | Sur La Table | Park | Carnival | Engagement Session

I knew Paul J when he was just known as just J.  I have no idea where he picked up the Paul part, but it's very cool.  He's definitely one of the most down to earth and chill guys I know.  Veronica is one of those girls that is so warm and full of positive energy.   I've gotten to know Veronica from all the past weddings that she's been a part of as a bridesmaid and makeup artist.  If any of you brides are looking for a makeup person let me know and I'll pass on the info to her.  That was a shameless plug, but she's really awesome so she deserves it. 

Veronica has been a blog stalker from the very beginning.  I think she was the first one to comment on our blog too!  She's a huge fan of theimageisfound, of which we are also ginormous fans, so we definitely wanted to bring our A-game to their shoot.  This session was a lot of fun because for the first time we actually had some audience participation going on.  All I had to do was ask Veronica to bat her eyelashes at various strangers and ask them to do some crazy stunts for us.  

I am so looking forward to their wedding. 

This was taken right next to a huge group of people having lunch at the Ferry Building.

Veronica's family are great readers so she wanted to center some of her wedding decorations around books.  What a great idea.  We had to grab some shots in the book store.

Vern has such killer eyes.  I love the hat prop that we picked up.

These guys were such great sports.  I asked them to jump so many times, but it was worth it!

Subtle flare frames the shot.  I love it.

Cindy & Dave | GAP Building | Treasure Island | San Francisco | Engagement Session

We've known Cindy and David separately for many years.  During their engagement shoot, Dave reminded me of one time in college, when I messaged him a picture of an alarming piece of doo-doo that I had run into online.  I still don't remember why I did that, but that (among other things) has earned me the nickname "i-poop".   Jerry met David about 9 years ago when he was still in high school!  Now we have all graduated and Dave is on his way to becoming a pastor and marrying the most loving person I know!  

While shooting one of our first weddings, Cindy broke the news to us that they had begun dating.  Our eyeballs almost flew out!  I remember that she was so happy, she was visibly glowing.  For some reason it had never occurred to us before that they would get together.  Now that we know them as a couple, they compliment each other so well that I can't imagine them apart. 

They are constantly making each other laugh.   We wandered around San Francisco for a little while looking for cool places to shoot.

Cindy works at GAP and was able to let us onto their roof top terrace.

Some friends say that they look alike, if you ignore that they look completely different.  hehe.  I think it's in their facial proportions.

Scuzzy rosemary creatures!
