Alpha and Paul recently shot their engagement session with us and we can’t express how over-joyed we are about how sweet their photos turned out. The perfect vibe in the perfect setting, thanks to Big Daddy Antiques 🙂 Enjoy!

engagement | jee + derek
Most couples always start off a session with “I’m going to be terrible” or “I never look good in photos” but when we show them previews of their photos, they just smile. And that is the best feeling.  Our session with Jee and Derek was one of those sessions. But, they are more photogenic than they thought 🙂 That’s the thing… Everyone is photogenic. And that is something every couple should embrace. Just have fun with it and the beauty will unravel before your eyes. We took Jee and Derek to some places they had never been to even though they are San Francisco natives and we all had a blast! Check out some previews of the beautiful Jee and her soon-to-be hubby!
engagement | Christine + John
Arriving at Lake Chabot was like finding a hidden gem in the valley. The sun was out and the water was just glistening in the sun. Even Christine and John stood there with me for a little while to take in the scenery. With Christine’s calm beauty and John’s charm, it is obvious that the two are so very sweet for each other. Check out some teasers from their engagement session and you’ll see what we mean 🙂

engagement | tina + marcelo
When Tina and Marcelo showed up dressed up in their delightful spring time outfits, we could not help but smile. They looked so cute together!
 Their love story is one for the books… Let’s just say there was Taboo, alleys with dumpsters, La Fondue, and a fire station involved 😛 To pay tribute to their love story, we visited a few places near and dear to them both 🙂
La Fondue in Saratoga… where Marcelo first swooned and wooed Tina 🙂


A game of Taboo in the park! The board game that sealed the deal for both of them 😉
Their big day is only a few months away!
engagement | mona + john
engagement | selena + jeff
engagement | denise + huy
Denise and Huy are such a delightful couple and we can’t wait to celebrate with them on their wedding day! Their session started in the beautiful Muir Woods and the weather could not have been more perfect. We ended back up in San Francisco to grab some chocolate, coffee and a little grocery shopping 🙂

engagement | veronica + chris
engagement | meredith + kyle
engagement | ashlye + magnus
We absolutely adored the photos from Ashlye and Magnus’ engagement session! Not only did the SF Giants win the world championship later that day, but the weather and sunlight were great! The chemistry between the two are just too much for us to hold in our excitement to share these photos with everyone.
Congratulations again to the beautiful Ashlye and her main squeeze, Magnus!
We absolutely look forward to their wedding in Mexico next year!
engagement | ali + quinn
We had a blast with these two during their engagement session!
Their first date was at the Stanford theater so we had to make a trip there – we love when couples incorporate the story of how they met in their sessions!



Seeing that both of them are competitive in nature, a water balloon fight was just the right thing to finish off their Sunday with us  🙂













We had a wonderful time venturing around San Francisco for Mona and John’s engagement session… not to mention our pit stops at Chantal Guillion to satiate Mona’s (and our) love for macaroons 🙂
