Chiara + Eric | Golden Gate Park | California Academy of Sciences | San Francisco | Engagement

Shooting Chiara and Eric was just plain fun.  I'll attribute it to the fun couple, but Aubrey also came out to shoot with me as well.  It's always fun tag teaming on an engagement sessions.  It was a slightly cold and windy day in SF, but otherwise a great day to shoot.  We started off at the Park at some random corner and worked our way in a little.  We quickly found ourselves behind the California Academy of Sciences, which is not too shabby of a place to shoot.  Well, that's until the security guards kicked us out.  It's funny how 99% of the places I've gotten kicked out of have done so after we've gotten a ton of images.  It's almost like a badge of honor to get kicked out for us photographers.  

Can't wait to shoot their wedding this summer in Carmel.  They're going to have a fun board game theme, so I'm pretty excited to see what they come up with!  


Christine + Eugene | Flora Grubb | San Francisco | Engagement Shoot

I love it when couples find a cool spot to shoot at.  I don't know how Christine found Flora Grubb in SF, but it was definitely a fun place to shoot in.  It also helps that I'm beginning to like succulents and plants due to Ingrid's own green thumb.  After Flora Grubb, we drove around and found some urban spots to shoot at.  I loved the variety and shapes that come out of these sessions.  At one point we actually got close to Hunter's Point, which is probably the most dangerous place in SF.  We didn't stay near there that long!  

Our associate photographer, Aubrey, also came along and shot with me.  Half the shots are hers!
