engagement portraits

engagement | natalie + nick

Natalie was gleaming with light and who could blame her. She was marrying John Travolta soon…

No. We’re kidding but it was hard to not confuse Nick with John’s resemblance. Can’t you agree?

engagement | jeeyoung + john

This was one precious engagement session. Congratulations to Jeeyoung and John, who will be celebrating their wedding in Korea later this year ❤

MUA + Hair // Susie Chhuor

They lived their lives unknowing of each other on opposite ends of the world. It was serendipity that brought them both to Tokyo and then to San Francisco so that we could capture a moment of their story 🙂

A girl sat behind the fish tank in a dim corner of the cafe. Effervescent purple lights drowned her face. He reached for her hand but she looked away. He traced his fingers along the glass instead and watched the fish glide by, bobbing between bubbles. He thought he caught her smiling…

engagement | diane + tom

Diane and her man met the old fashioned way in San Francisco. As they move onto the next chapter of their lives together, they will have to leave their hearts in San Francisco for the east coast. For Diane and Tom’s session, they decided they wanted to visit places that hold sentimental value in their relationship and places where memories have made them closer.

engagement | diana + nathan

Their big day is just several days away 😉

engagement | stephanie + brandon

About three years ago, Brandon reached out for to us to do portraits of him and Stephanie for Valentine’s Day and a feeling deep down told us we would hear from them again in the future. And we did! Now they’re engaged and we couldn’t be more happy for them!

engagement | carlyn + ben

We were greeted with open arms and a house full of pets when we arrived at Carlyn and Ben’s home in the beautiful Californian woods. Their family comprised of a german shepherd named Justice and two persians with lots of character and sass. We’re pretty excited to share some of our favorite images from their session 🙂

engagement | wendy + lawrence

Wendy and Lawrence are visiting from Malaysia for a friend’s wedding in San Francisco. It just so happens that they are engaged and they figured it would be an excellent opportunity to take engagement portraits. Being that it was Wendy’s first time ever in San Francisco, we figured we’d take them to a few of our favorite places 🙂

Makeup + Hair // The Glamourist

engagement | jessica + dan

It’s always a delight when couples bring their pets out to the engagement session. This time we had the pleasure of meeting Harley, a handsome one-year old boxer full of personality.

We can’t wait to see Jessica and Dan again later this year for their wedding!

engagement | an + evan

After a week of rain, we finally got sunshine in the city over the weekend.Truly a spectacular end to the weekend 🙂
Congratulations to An and Evan ❤

engagement | nobuko + aaron

We’re just as excited for these two and can’t wait to see them again on their special day ❤

engagement | lindsay + rob

Lindsay and Rob showed up to their session with smiles all around and right away we knew it would be a great session. They had no idea what they were in store for but they were up for anything!
We started with city views and then ended at the Sutro Bath Ruins for some intimate photos of them being them. And, them, being COMPLETELY in love 🙂
