Magic Hour Engagement - Palace of Fine Arts Engagement Session

Whenever possible I like to shoot at magic hour...that hour or few of beautiful light just at the end of a day before the sun sets. The sky gets golden and the light softens and it becomes pure romantic magic. Helps of course to have dazzling subjects such as these! And again and again I'm so amazed what wonderful spots the Bay Area provides for these magic, romantic sessions with dazzling couples. My husband heard a nasty rumor that the Palace of Fine Arts is going to be knocked down for housing...I said people will lay their bodies down in that swan pond before they let that happen...I might be one of them. I hope its just a rumor and could never be true, because beauty like this needs to be preserved. Thank you for being so dazzling Jane and Patrick and I am SO looking forward to your big day in May at the Brazilian Room!

Lauren and Michael Engaged - Potrero Hill, Crissy Field, Palace of Fine Arts San Francisco Engagement Session - {San Francisco Wedding Photographer}

Dimples, a man in uniform and pure chemistry - and what I mean is, Lauren and her adorable dimples, Michael and his military blues and together amazing, adorable chemistry that lite up behind the camera. We started our session in Potreo Hill, in search of a busy neighborhood scene and some skyline. We did find the skyline but Potrero Hill gave off more of a sleepy little vibe, which lent itself to plenty of PDA and moving furniture & trash cans to accomodate us. Then off to Crissy Field and the Palace of Fine Arts for some more fun shots. And I do have to admit when Lauren told me Michael brought his uniform I did do a little inner squeal. I just loved everything about it and so did SF as I think everyone that drove by gave a little honk or a wave. Thank you Michael for your service to our country and thank you for bringing your uniform so I could photograph it. Congrats to you both on finally being together and engaged & thank goodness there was a memory card in my camera to capture it all!
