Tag Archives: engagement session
I’m playing catch up and many of these sessions are from the summer – Louise and Andrew’s happened to be on a classically foggy San Francisco summer day. We met at the Ferry Building and it only seemed natural to start off with some oysters and wine. Yum! Let the fun begin!
I met Susanne and Ryan for the first time when we did this session and we had the best time wandering around their (then current, now old) neighborhood, Los Feliz. There were great places to shoot around every corner and we started out in their apartment, went to their local movie theater and then to the Hollyhock House (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright) and on up to the Griffith Observatory (where we had not one but two run ins with the security guards.)
I’m just going to come right out and say it – I love these guys! If they didn’t live 5 hours away, I would totally invite myself over for dinner.
Christina and Michael decided to have their engagement session in one of their favorite spots – their neighborhood. And it’s a great neighborhood indeed. Which one? you ask. Well, after a discussion about San Francisco’s many petite ‘hoods, the conclusion was Corona Heights. We walked up one of the many tucked away staircases… it was so green and beautiful… so Mediterranean.

Then we headed up Tank Hill to take in some views. The sun graced us with it’s presence off and on which made the lighting a little challenging but well worth it.
Then back down the hill to their street where we dodged some cars and said our good-byes. They just bought a cafe, by the way, so you SF locals should check it out – Kafe 99 sqft. Awesome! Thanks for a fun time, you two!
Locals will remember the heat wave we experienced in San Francisco last week. Even my friends who were here visiting from Texas were complaining that it was too hot! So I more than half expected it to be very warm when I met up with Melinda and Russ in Golden Gate Park for their session. Alas, this is San Francisco and hot it was not. More like cool, windy and foggy. They brought along their entourage which included sweet Macayla so we started things off by including her in some photos.
There was a lot of laughter along the way and some no holds barred kissing so I’m pretty sure their December wedding at the Los Gatos Opera House is going to be really special.
