These are a few images from Monica and Patrick’s romantic engagement shoot this past weekend in San Francisco. We wondered up and down the Embarcadero, finding all sorts of great places to shoot including the Americano Restaurant, inside and out at The Ferry Building and out on Pier 7 for some dramatic night shots…So much fun!

I thought it would be fun to share some behind the scenes photographs taken at recent shoots. These first two were taken my Mei Mei Chan, sister of the bride in these images. Mei Mei came along with us on our Day After/ Wreck the Dress session at Bonita Point in Marin, CA. It was great fun to have her with us as she is also a photographer and was gracious enough to take these images and send them to me….More to come!

This next image was taken by Erik, my boyfriend/personal Sherpa and human lightstand on an engagement shoot at the Ferry Building in San Francisco. What would I do without him!

Here’s another image taken by Erik at a portrait shoot in the bay marshes near Foster City, CA. This was such a fun shoot but I was SO dirty afterwords. Even with the mud boots I was soaking wet! Totally worth it though

This last image was taken by Erik at a Day After session in the abondoned buildings on Angel Island out by Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay. It’s been such a fun summer! Can’t wait for next year!

Here are a few images from the edgy, urban engagement shoot I had with Nicole and Rich in San Francisco. What a fun day! These two are getting married next year at Lake Tahoe – Can’t wait!

I would like to congratulate Erin and Josh Wise (one of the fantastic couples I had the opportunity to photograph last year) on their feature in The Knot ‘Real Weddings!’ Erin and Josh had a truly unique destination wedding in the green mountains of Vermont last summer. They were married at a local luxury B&B called The Round Barn, surrounded by family, friends and the amazing scenery that the farmland and mountains provided. The reception took place in the old circular dairy barn that had been renovated to host events. It was an absolutely gorgeous day! To check out some of the images visit Knot.com to view the feature.
