I always suggest doing engagement sessions before the wedding because not only do you get some awesome and casual couples portraits but you get to know your wedding photographer.  You know, the person who will be trailing you all day, who is likely to see you in your underwear and who will be interacting with your family and friends?  Whom you are trusting to preserve some of your most important memories?  Yeah, that person. (I’m a little uncertain about my “who” and “whom” use in those sentences.  Anyone?  Megan?)

So Devra and Brian live in NYC but Devra is from the Bay Area and they are getting married in Napa in August.  We had only spoken on the phone and exchanged emails so it was really nice to get to meet them in person before the big day (see above).  We wandered around getting some city shots and then headed toward the Golden Gate Bridge for some more casual photos.  They were really, really fun and not unlike superheros - leaping tall buildings in a single bound!  Without futher ado…
