A few weeks ago, on a beautiful day in San Francisco, Lorraine and Erick got married and it was the most perfect day. Three dresses, a tea ceremony and regular ceremony, a group photo of over 80 family members, a reception designed to the nines, three cakes and the most lovely photo location at Grace Cathedral in downtown San Francisco ... this day was a total dream.  It didn't hurt that bride Lorraine is a wedding planner and it definitely showed in all the little details. I know I am going to overshare but I had so many favorite photos I couldn't quite help myself. Full list of vendors and artists at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!

Lorraine and Erick are just about the coolest people I have ever met. When I saw Lorraine step out of their uber in her wedding reception dress and leather jacket I knew that their entire session was going to be amazing. And it was. I have been dreaming of shooting at San Francisco City Hall and they kindly let me take a few snaps before we headed down to the Embarcadero for some ice cream and more casual shots. This couple has just as much fun with each other as it looks like and to say I am excited for their San Francisco wedding at the end of this month is an understatement. Enjoy some beautiful images below! 

I am so excited to share this wild, hazy and romantic seaside engagement session. I  think I found one of my new favorite places to photograph and it is so nearby the heart of San Francisco. The Sutro Baths are rich in history-- once a grand structure on the cliffs where locals could come and bathe in heated saltwater pools. Sadly a fire destroyed the stunning cliff house and now what is left are the eerie remains of  the outline of bathing pools. For me, any place rooted in history that holds the magic of nostalgia is exactly where I want to be. I absolutely love the juxtaposition of new love and antique, historical elements.  Sutro Baths fit the bill in so many ways and I couldn't be more pleased with how Lindsey + Bill's session turned out! I even tried my hand at creating my own florals and I am pretty happy with how they photographed, but I won't be adding floral services to my offerings anytime soon! The sea... something about it!
