Shefali and JP - San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts and Legion of Honor Engagement Session

This session included the lovely Shefali and JP against a gorgeous Palace of Fine Arts backdrop and also the Legion of Honor. Though it was cold and misting heavily, it was awesome. :) Enjoy!

Marisa + Leon | Engagement

I'm so happy to have had connected to this amazing couple through a friend of a friend of a friend! This session was such a breeze because their connection was so strong and I could just let them do their thing the whole time. I had a blast!

This is my second time shooting at the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Jose. It's too bad that they have now issued a photo permit requirement to use the garden as a backdrop. Just as we ended our session, the rangers were shooing out the other three photo sessions (graduation portraits, bridal portraits, and a family session) that were going on.

Megan & Scott | Engaged!

Megan was my roommate all throughout my college years at UCSB. I am absolutely thrilled that she and her best friend of so many years, Scott, are getting married!

Jessica & Taishi | Engagement

Regina + Chris

Regina and Chris at one of my favorite places to shoot in Gilroy - the Chitactac-Adams County Park! That place is seriously beautiful when the light hits.

Jenn + Khorn

These special two, a baby on the way, and a beautiful beach at sunset.

Lucy + Dom

I met Lucy back in our college days at UCSB and I finally got an opportunity to take photos for her and her long-time boyfriend, Dom :) I remember contacting her almost exactly a year ago and I'm glad we found some time in our schedules to match up. We had the photo session during the beautiful golden hour at the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Jose. They were amazing to photograph and were just naturals at posing themselves!

Michelle + Ricky

I realized I've been lacking in the couple's portraits lately, so recently I offered a couple free photo sessions for people and their significant others. My first guinea pigs were Michelle & Ricky, where we got some really awesome images from shooting at Sprig Lake. Even though I was hoping for sun, I think overall it was successful, I'd say. :)
