Sneak Peek: Agnieszka + Peter (Engagement Photography) @ San Francisco, California

Just a quick sneak peek for A+P’s engagement shoot tonight in San Francisco – the first is a wide shot of the couple at Embarcadero Center, the second is a night shot in the middle of the street on Harrison St. with a beautiful view of the Bay Bridge in the background. Enjoy, and stay […]

Becky and Sam (Engagement Photography) @ Skyline, Embarcadero, Ferry Building, Pier 7 – San Francisco, California

Sam is a close photographer-friend of mine, so I was honored when he asked if I could take engagement photos of him and his fiancé Becky. I’ll be one of his groomsmen in a couple weeks, so it’s good we got our shoot done when we did! The weather was clear and not-too-windy, which are […]

John and Uyen (Engagement Photography) @ Gray Whale Cove State Beach, San Mateo, California

John and Uyen’s San Jose wedding is only six weeks away, so getting their engagement shoot scheduled was imperative! Luckily we were all able to synchronize our busy schedules to make it happen today. They decided on Gray Whale Cove State Beach. It’s hard to find because there’s no signs (that I know of) that […]

Fallon and Joe (Engagement Photography) @ Capitola, California

These two got engaged yesterday, and since they’re both active military (Air Force), they had 48 hours to fit an engagement session in. I pulled a few strings and moved a few things around, but was glad it all worked out. Fallon is also training to compete in bodybuilding competitions, so she definitely had a striking […]

Morgan + Cliff (Engagement Photography) @ Natural Bridges Beach, Santa Cruz, California

Wow, there were so many keepers from this romantic and sexy engagement session, I had such a hard time picking my favorites. Cliff pulled some strings to get a last-minute photo permit to shoot at Natural Bridges, one of Santa Cruz’s most amazing natural parks; it’s got it all – fields, pine trees, sycamore groves, […]

Lisa + Corey (Engagement Photography) @ Capitola, California

Sometimes a couple just clicks, and they don’t require a whole lot of interference on my part when it comes to fitting together in a photogenic way. I’m used to directing my couples a lot – where to put their hands, where to look, etc, but Lisa and Corey are naturals in front of the […]

Joan and Nathan (Engagement Photography) @ Westwind Barn, Los Altos Hills, California

It’s amazing how you can transition from the densely populated Peninsula / South Bay to the rolling hills in Los Altos by driving just a couple miles. Joan and Nathan wanted their engagement photography session at the Westwind Community Barn in Los Altos – think horses, corral, hills sparsely populated with rugged old oaks – […]

Stevie + Angelo (Engagement Photography) @ Henry Cowell

One of the great things about the Bay Area is our temperate weather; there are very few days I have to cancel, and can shoot steadily throughout the year. And so it was that I met up with Stevie and Angelo on this fine mid-December day for their engagement session in the forests around Henry […]

Carly + Josué (Engagement Photography) @ Fort Point & Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, California

It was cold and windy and late November when I met up with Carly and Josué for their engagement shoot at Fort Point in San Francisco. It’s a really old military building, right at the base of the Golden Gate – and adjacent to the turbulent waters of the bay. This was a new location […]

Molly + Jay (Engagement Photography) @ Capitola Beach

It was great to meet and get to know Molly and Jay a little during their engagement session at Capitola Beach. They fully gave in to my direction, and were great listeners I might add! We explored the bluff above the beach, some railroad tracks, and spent most of the time on the beach and […]

Evelyn + Lon (Engagement Photography) @ Stewart’s Cove, Carmel River State Beach

I’ve had quite a few couples recently that wanted to include their dogs in their engagement session – they are, more or less, the “first baby” – so I’m happy to oblige. However, in the context of photo shoots, most dogs are the equivalent of hyper toddlers. So my typical solution is to include the […]

Ellen + John (Engagement Photography) @ UCSC Arboretum, Santa Cruz, California

I love exploring new locations for any shoot, and today’s engagement session with Ellen and John was practically in my back yard at the UCSC Arboretum! Now, since it’s November, nothing was really in bloom, and even the succulents looked like hibernating, but we meandered the expansive trails and found all kinds of nooks to […]

Sneak Peek: Liz + Scott (Engagement Photography) @ Pfeiffer Beach, Big Sur, California

Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur is almost always windy when I go there, and today was no exception. And when I say windy, I mean it’s blowing hard enough to give your outer layers of skin a decent microdermabrasion treatment. High winds are neither hair-friendly nor photo-equipment-friendly. But you know what? Who cares. Liz and […]

Crystal + Ben (Engagement Photography) @ Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Moss Beach, California

Crystal and Ben were an absolute joy to work with during their engagement photography session at Fiztgerald Marine Reserve in Moss Beach. Not only does Ben have awesome hair and Richard Gere-ish good looks, but he plays the guitar too – nice catch, Crystal! She’s a runner, full of smiles, and has a witty and sassy […]
