Maira and Aref’s wedding day was a little over a month ago, but to be honest we’ve been so busy with the wedding season that we only now had a chance to blog their engagement photos! June and July tend to be some of the most popular months to get married throughout the year, and it’s no surprise why – just look out the window! :)

For these engagement photos we drove up to San Francisco’s Embarcadero area. Maira and Aref were so comfortable with each other and easy to photograph that it felt like time was really flying – it was 9pm before we knew it! Our goal with engagement photos is to help our couples relax and let go to just be themselves. The photos we take are a natural by-product of this interaction.

Please enjoy:

On the day of this engagement session it was warm and sunny in most parts of the Bay Area. That is, everywhere, except the Lands End in San Francisco. While driving we were somewhere near Pacifica when we entered a thick, dark cloud of fog and we hoped until the last moments of driving up to the Cliff House that the fog will disappear.

Well, it never did, and pretty much by the beginning of the photo session it was starting to get pretty dark. Despite the cold and spooky atmosphere with the ocean making some weird sounds in the dark way too close to us, we had a blast! Jen and Jimmy were real troopers and we had a ton of fun climbing the ruins of the Sutro Baths while taking these photos!

Here are our favorites from the evening:

Hope everyone had a nice weekend! We had the pleasure of shooting two beautiful weddings over the last few days and we can’t wait to share them with you here. In the meantime, here are some recent engagement photos we shot just a few weeks ago.

For this photo shoot, we met Monica and Alex by the entrance to the De Young museum in Golden Gate Park. The evening was a bit chilly but the light was gorgeous around sunset time and we spent an hour just walking in the park and around the walls of the De Young and the Academy of Sciences.

Here are a few favorites:

Monica and Alex’s big day will take place this September and we look forward to working with them again! We had a great time with you, guys :)
