The City & The Woods with Claudia & Kevin

001-MSibthorpePhotography-9398

Claudia and Kevin were inspired to revisit both the location of their first date for this engagement session, and the redwoods. We started off at Caffe Greco in North Beach, San Francisco where they have many delectable Italian treats. Then Claudia & Kevin took me to an awesome overlook of the San Francisco skyline and Transamerica Pyramid they had discovered one day while meandering through the nearby neighborhood. And finally we ended up in the East Bay at the Tilden Regional Parks Botanical Garden to visit their beautiful redwood groves.

I enjoyed spending time with Claudia & Kevin and seeing how they are such great complements to one another. Kevin is both playful and a total sweetheart and Claudia is grounded and fun loving. We got some really sweet shots during this shoot, and I know their August wedding is going to be a blast.

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.
