Before each engagement session, we go through a planning process with our couples to make sure we're going to come away with images that reflect them. There is a lot of back and forth between us to get the locations, outfits, all those details just right. Adm and I pride ourselves on how well we plan so that we can do a good job responding to all the little things that can go wrong on engagement shoots and even wedding days.
On the day of Tracy and Frank's engagement, our plan had to compete with reality. The erratic winds of the Marin Headlands caused us to abandon the beach and head back across the bridge. After three stops in the Presidio we were back on track and scurried our way through downtown, chasing the light so we could hit Potrero Hill as the sun went down. We may have broken some traffic laws, but as you can see above, we made it just in time. Tracy and Frank are getting married this summer and if the care and thoughtfulness that went into their engagement session is any indication of the wedding to come, I know we're in for a real treat!
I don't know if I have made this clear before or not, but I am a total sucker for dogs. Oh wait, of course I have! So, when I found out that Winnie and Wallen planned for their two Corgi pups to make an appearance for their portraits I was a little bit excited. Why wouldn't you have the furry members of your family take part in your big day?
Gosh, remember these 
Why is it that some of our most memorable engagement sessions always include some kind of injury? Well, we can add Junie and Eddie's session to that list as Adm came away from the shoot with a big lump and bruise on his forehead. If you check out the ice cream photos at the bottom of this post, you'll notice that one is from a super high angle - that would be me shooting while on top of Adm's shoulders. Pretty impressive, eh? Unfortunately for Adm, during my climb to the top, I forgot to hold onto my cameras which ended up conking him in the head. Oops. Luckily, I was able to somewhat crawl my way out of the doghouse by immediately treating it with a delicious ice cream cone.
Good morning blog world! We had a really fun shooting weekend - a San Francisco engagement and gorgeous wedding in Carmel, and hope you all had a super Labor Day weekend too! To ease back into the work week, we're sharing Angela and Brett's "fairytale casual" wedding!
What would you say if your photographer took her shoes off while photographing your wedding ceremony? If you follow my blog, you already know I love learning about cultures I haven't experienced before. When the opportunity arose for me to second shoot a Sikh wedding, I jumped at the chance. I have to thank
