A gorgeous late summer day with two of my favorite people.. Amanda and I met in fifth grade, and as my oldest friend, we have been through a lot together.  One of those things being a long, hot summer break from high school working at a nearby water park as lifeguards.  In those days of bad sandal tans, Amanda and Tyler formed a close friendship that through the years has led them to where they are today..  Engaged!  I can’t say that I knew then they were perfect for each other, but I sure know that now.  It has been pretty amazing to watch their love for one another grow and I am so excited to be by their side as they take the next step in their relationship.  A wedding in Costa Rica!  Cannot wait to celebrate these two with family + friends :)  Love you both!

Here are a few frames from their engagement session in Napa..
Amanda is seriously stunning..
As with most of my brides + grooms, Amanda tried to tell me that they aren’t photogenic.  Um, I beg to differ!
Congratulations you two!  <3

Stephanie and AJ wanted to have their engagement session in a place that meant something to them.. Lake Merced in San Francisco, where they first met.  I absolutely love when couples decide on a place that is sentimental, it makes the photos that much more special.  We decided to meet early in the morning because we were heading to the market later and in typical SF fashion, it was foggy and freezing!  I absolutely love the mood of the images.. the weather and lake gave a very winter feel.  Pair that with a couple very much in love and it truly doesn’t get any better.

Take a peek!
My most favorite engagement photo I have ever taken..
After Lake Merced, we headed to the Ferry Building for the farmers market!  So fun.
Such an awesome engagement session!  Thank you Stephanie + AJ, cannot wait to shoot your wedding next year :)
