After so many beach shoots in the past few weeks I decided to do something different here. After talking to Maricel and Sammar I think we wanted something causual but a bit more modern setting. So we both decided on Yerba Buena Gardens in downtown San Francisco. There are many little gems in the area and even a waterfall with a splash zone! We also got to show off Sammars new Jordans!
Pictures can be unnerving sometimes and Maricel felt a bit awkward and had a case of the giggles. This is a way engagement photos help us and our clients connect. We learn how to work and make them feel easier so pictures come more natural. We were finally able to get Maricel to a comfortable place and off we went. We definitely got some great Yerba Buena engagement photos in. To read more about engagement photos check out my link here

Ok, yeah its been a busy weekend. Cherise started off saying she was going to need direction in their shoot, but all I did was let them loose and they did what came natural.
We started off the shoot at the Legion of Honor and then moved on from there. The Legion of Honor is a great place for both engagement and wedding photography as it has classy lines and beautiful columns to work with.
Both of them were very fun and spontaneous. There was even one point at Bakers Beach where Sid asked Cherise should we go out onto the rocks for pictures. Next thing you know Cherise takes off into the retracting tide and runs toward the rocks. It actually turned out to be an awesome picture of them running off into the sunset.
Here are the highlights! Enjoy.
Running off into the sunset!
So for this shoot we had a nice tour of San Francisco. We started our engagement photos at painted ladies in San Francisco. Its a very distinct view of San Francisco as most people will recognize the old Victorian buildings.
We continued our engagement photos around San Francisco and ended up at the Justin Herman Plaza in the Embarcadero. We even made a stop at the restaurant where Jerry proposed to Rujjira earlier this year at Bix Restaurant for a quick photograph.
Even though the wind was blowing and freezing poor Rujjira, both of them were troopers and pulled through. Was definitely a great shoot and we had alot of fun. Here are some highlights! Stay tuned for their wedding later this year.
Ok Ok, theres some Bakers beach in this one too. The sun finally came out after a whole day of being gloomy so why not! Although it may look warm, it sure wasnt. Connie and Henry were troopers though. Both of them climbed the huge steps at the Palace of Fine arts and the dangerous rocks at Bakers beach for these engagement photos. It was an awesome shoot and we all had alot of fun. The things people will do for pictures! Stay tuned for their wedding later this year.
