Urban San Francisco Engagement Photos

August 31st, 2010

This beautiful urban engagement session photos were a blast to capture and the couple were so fun to hang out with. They had two parts to their San Francisco engagement session. In the beginning of our time together we showed them around all the great urban couture spots around the city. Karen and Mike had the time of their life running around town with us, capturing special moments of their life and celebrating new beginnings. This urban engagement shoot was set up perfectly in San Francisco; with the backdrop to match, we couldn’t go wrong, and we didn’t. Did we?

cute engagement

This couple was so fun and crazy, even though it took Mike a little longer than Karen to get situated and comfortable with the session and taking some photos that turned out absolutely beautiful. Was it a challenge to get this shy guy to jump out of his shell? Yes, but he did! Finally when he was ready we had a blast in front of this huge painting that was hidden behind an old warehouse. The colors went perfectly with Karen’s gorgeous dress, and her bright and happy personality. This couples love and compassion for one another shines so brightly throughout this entire photo shoot and it was hard to even come to an end, thats why, as you will see tomorrow we just had to do this engagement shoot in two different posts. There were just too many awesome urban pictures to choose from, but we did. Tell us what you think. : )

Were so excited to finish up this urban engagement tomorrow and get the second post up, I bet you are as anxious as me to see the next post. Well we are anxious to post it and then comes the wedding! Yay! We can’t wait till their wedding and the beautiful photos that are going to come out of their wonderful day.

Briony - what a fun couple! these are awesome :)

Kat + Mark – San Francisco Engagement Session

July 30th, 2010

This engagement session in San Francisco for Kat and Mark was so urban and classy. We started their San Francisco engagement session in the Mission but especially loved the red brick steps downtown where we ended our engagement session adventure. This cute little Ampersand tagged along as well and happened to be the perfect prop for Kat & Mark. : ) And don’t you just love Kat’s fun and colorful outfits and awesome shoes? Now we just can’t wait for their wedding!

These were Kat’s favorite photos of the day. Could it be because we paused right in the front of the Chanel store, or just the urban feel of the whole backdrop? I would have guessed the fact that she was that close to stepping into Chanel, maybe the fragrances were drawing her closer, or the lure of Chanel No 5 drawing her close.

There it goes again, that sneaky little Ampersand, getting a spot in a few shots in their engagement session. Most pictures are said to be worth a thousand words, I think these pictures would be a perfect example. Kat & Mark.

Loving these two expressive photos of the two of them. Kat, you’re so beautiful!

My favorite photos from this engagement session are these next ones from the streets of downtown San Francisco. So urban, raw and edgy!

These dark alley staircases look so mysterious… and so raw. Puts the spice in this engagement session for Kat and Mark. And oh so sexy!

How perfect does her shirt stand out through the darkness of this ally? I think she wore the perfect mix of colors for the perfect urban engagement shoot in San Francisco.

How sexy are these shots? Close-ups sure do her good. She has beautiful full lips that we just couldn’t wait to capture in this shoot. When we finally got to she ‘nailed’ the pose, literally by giving her nail a flirty bite.

I’m absolutely loving Mark’s pin stripe shirt, classy yet casual. And Kat’s soft loving emotions.

And oh my, those heels are something else. Tinywater is a sucker for some awesome shoes.

This almost looks like it’s taken from a scene in a movie. So cute! Love them in their urban engagement session.

I love how the sunlight is shining through just perfectly to make these pictures look so soft and romantic. The love they have for each other shows beautifully in their expressions. Union square is just so perfect for these engagement photos!

Winny + Lee – San Francisco Engagement Photos

July 23rd, 2010

Oh, Winny and Lee, how we love your San Francisco engagement photos! San Francisco does give the perfect backdrop for a wonderful engagement session. Remember the sneak peek photo from their San Francisco engagement session? Winny and Lee (and their cute little dog, Paddington) took us on a fun trip through the city’s most gorgeous places. First we were at Coit Tower, a 210 ft. tower in Pioneer Park. This was where the sweet couple had their first date, which then led to the love they have for each other now, and it shines throughout this entire engagement session. Then, we headed to North Beach, where Paddington had the freedom to get some energy running through the grass. Also, the colors in these shots were just gorgeous.

Look how comfortable they look with each other, they are so sweet and a perfect couple. Winny is so shy we had to work her into the photo session just to look at the camera, but thats okay, cause once she started smiling we couldn’t stop her. And why would we ever want to? She has such a pretty smile, and Lee’s smile isn’t to bad either ; ) After North Beach we headed to Golden Gate Park, one of Winny and Lee’s favorite places to wrap up the photo session.

Can you read the graffiti words? We sure couldn’t either. But, the mural was perfect for a couple urban love photos, don’t you think? We definitely admired the artwork, but it still couldn’t compare to the magic of love that was in the air today. With Winny and Lee finally getting comfortable for the engagement session, we decided to step it up a notch and throw in an inflatable heart in the next few photos.

Cute, cute, cute, is the couple fighting over the inflatable heart in the middle of a grassy field. All Lee had to do was hold his hand out and the heart over his head and it was too much for Winny, she was laughing uncontrollably the entire time. Paddington was so patient with us the entire session, he even paid attention for almost all the closeups. How lucky are they to have such a well behaved pup, jealous! Maybe we will dog-nap him, watch out Winny and Lee, were after your pup. : ) We can’t wait to see how fun their wedding will be, can you?

Ricky Malana - Awesome you two! Congrats! Take care and see you both on the big day :)

Bhavani + Suriyan – San Francisco Indian Engagement

July 2nd, 2010

We love photographing Indian weddings in San Francisco, and we love photographing Indian engagement sessions even more. We always seem to end up with one or two San Francisco Indian weddings every year! This is even a little more unique, Bhavani and Suriyan got formally engaged in India and will be holding their traditional Indian wedding in the Bay Area. Bhavani and Suriyan will be having a traditional Indian ceremony followed with a more Western ceremony with tons of dancing as Bhavani is a dancer. Of course, they will be having Indian dancing at their reception! And I totally love the fact that we did the first half of their engagement session in traditional Indian clothes which by the way were the clothes that they formally got engaged in in the temple in India.

My favorite photo of the series? The amazing photo of the big “nest” letters amongst the treet. How appropriate!

Isn’t Bhavani’s sari beautiful? I always love the colors of an Indian wedding. Photos of Indian weddings are always so colorful because of the beautiful clothing and dresses!

Bhavani’s attention to detail and her amazing accessories – stunning! Yet another fun feature of an Indian wedding!

I love how engagement sessions photographs bring out the connection and bond between our couples. These two are so cute!

Now it’s time for more urban photos and mix the new and the old! Makes it more fun, don’t you think?

Love this flirtatious pic of Bhavani showing her stuff!

This dancing set of the two of them always makes me laugh! Everyone should dance for their engagement photographs!
Since One of Bhavani’s favorite places is the beach, we decided that she should be a vision on the beach.

Completely in love with these two portraits to this beauty at the beach
A quick change of clothes for even more fun right as the fog was rolling in.

Trees and more trees – such a magical spot! One of my favorite spots for an engagement session

Truly my favorite photo of the day, such an appropriate engagement portrait as a couple prepares to create their own nest after marriage!

Isn’t she just like a mirage in the desert? I just fell in love with this picture of Bhavani on the beach during their San Francisco engagement session.
