I hope you love this bright, light-filled engagement session! Maggie, Zach and I headed to an apple orchard a couple weeks back to take advantage of the beautiful blossoms on the trees! I can't get over how photogenic these two are and I absolutely cannot wait for their July wedding at Gull Lake! Here are some favorites from our session! 

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! Enjoy some favorites from their San Francisco Sutro Baths engagement session below!
