Beautiful Baker Beach with Christine & Alex

001-MSibthorpePhotography-CA-4883

Christine & Alex are lucky enough to live right by Baker Beach, where we photographed their engagement session. But first we actually started our shoot at their apartment where I was able to sneak a couple of photos of their cute feline friend, who is quite aptly named Panda. Once at the beach, we were greeted by pretty fabulous weather. It was bright and sunny and just windy enough to toss Christine’s hair around in such a way to add flair and drama to some of our shots.

Of course Baker Beach is known for it’s great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, but it is also a fabulously diverse location for a shoot. See for yourself, I love the path the leads up to Cypress trees, and the towering mansions on the cliff at the south end of the beach. I had a great time with Christine and Alex. My favorite moment: when their faces lit up because they saw dolphins! All while the sun was setting, it was just lovely.

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. Check out the link in bio.⁠

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.
