Baker Beach & Presidio Engagement Session: Patricia and Drew

008-Baker-Beach-San-Francisco-Engagement-Photos-5960

Ok guys, I have to say these engagement photos of Patricia & Drew turned out to be pretty magical! We started our photo session in the woods of San Francisco’s Presidio. Which was a fun place to get started and since it was sheltered from the wind and it allowed Patricia to wear her cute white lace dress she chose for the shoot. Though the main attraction for us was of course moving on to Baker Beach and it’s stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. We had the beach to ourselves since we went on a chilly Thursday evening in the middle of San Francisco’s “summer.” Choosing Baker Beach was especially significant for these two because it’s where Drew proposed to Patricia, and we were lucky to go back and have the place almost entirely to ourselves, except for a few people playing Pokemon Go! lol.

This shoot was so much fun! Even though we had only just met, I could feel the love shared between these two. Congrats Patricia & Drew!

Feel free to leave a comment for them. Let them know which is your favorite shot. 🙂

So freaking excited for these two! They kept it sweet and simple with a private elopement in San Francisco's golden gate park and they also had an enormous amount of luck when they planned to get married on Wednesday when we had a break in the rain here in the SF Bay Area. It was such a joy to capture this moment ❤️
Just going to put this here... my first attempt at putting myself in front of the camera! Everyone else is doing it so I'm giving it a shot now too. ⁠

This is from Christy & Dory's gorgeous wedding at Straus Home Ranch, in Marshall, CA. It is one of my favorite venues and this was a very special wedding. Even though this is a more serious moment there is tons of laughter that happens between these two. Christy has the most contagious laugh. I'm sure you'll be smiling when you take a peek.

The most memorable moments are the unexpected ones. We were getting lined up for family photos when we could hear the blue angels starting up (very loudly) and flying overhead. Emily & Will got so lucky they didn't fly over while they were exchanging their vows and only started up just minutes after they said "I do."⁠
⁠
Also when taking this photo I was disappointed for a split second that I didn't have a long close up lens on me so I could get a better photo of the planes, but then I realized my wide angle lens was perfect for allowing me to get everyone's reaction to the planes just before they zoomed out of frame.
