To end this Tinywater three part San Francisco engagement photography session with Cynthia and Jimmy, we trekked into the city to play around with the urban landscape and colorful graffiti. The couple had one more wardrobe change from their beach attire from our mini trash the dress session into bright mod colors.

Cynthia’s red pea coat was a great fashion statement and really contrasted with Jimmy’s more classic black and white outfit. It was a fun graphic addition and prop to play around with against the grungy graffiti in the background during this San Francisco engagement photography session.

Jimmy brought his own style touches to the San Francisco engagement photography shoot with his casual low top Converse sneakers. These two made this session feel like an editorial shoot for a fashion magazine!

How fun is this wall with Jerry Garcia and Janis Joplin looking down at these guys! We love being able to have San Francisco engagement photography shoots because of the quirky locations this city has to offer.

Are these guys gorgeous or what? The creatures painted on this wall were so funny to photograph with the couple. When Cynthia and Jimmy have free time they love going scuba diving, traveling, and finding the best new places to eat!

Cynthia recently relocated to San Francisco just a year ago and is still getting to know the bay area. The future bride describes her personal style as “trendy, mod, and tomboy at times.” We really felt like this San Francisco engagement photography session was perfect in capturing her personality! We hope these two want to share their photos with their friends and family to show off their beautiful relationship and fun new city.

We had so much fun during Cynthia and Jimmy’s San Francisco engagement photography session, moving from the Presidio to the beach to the city, especially playing around with their Pomeranian pup, Frosty, on the beach! We can’t wait to see what these two have planned for their wedding, we imagine it will be super fashionable. A big thanks to both Cynthia and Jimmy for allowing Tinywater to capture your engagement photos!

Cynthia + Jimmy: Trash The Dress!

Cynthia had a wonderful idea to have part of their Tinywater San Francisco engagement session incorporate some trash the dress photos on the beach! If you don’t know, “trash the dress” has been a fun trend in the last few years where brides wear their special dresses in locations that you would never expect, all because of the fear for ruining it! Cynthia wore a floor length white dress, which looked as if it could be a wedding dress but was used just for this particular portion of their session! We think her idea is a genius way to allow brides that want to keep their wedding dress in pristine condition to participate in this fun photo shoot.

If you know us here at Tinywater, then you know how much we love meeting couple’s dogs! Cynthia and Jimmy brought along Frosty, their tiny and adorable Pomeranian pup.

We captured a few intimate moments during their San Francisco engagement session before we headed into the sun, sand, and water for our trash the dress photos. I love how just looking at this set of photos from their session look like they are from an intimate and casual beach wedding. Cynthia’s white dress and flower in her hair were so simple yet elegant.

As we headed into the sun and down to the shore, our timing couldn’t have been better – the lighting was absolutely perfect for our trash the dress photos.

Frosty really knew how to work the camera! That haircut and smile of his are so fierce! He had a blast running around these two as they danced on the beach.

I love the way her dress flowed and fluttered in the wind.

And into the water they go! Trash the dress photos don’t necessarily mean you have to go all out and completely ruin the dress. We just loved that Cynthia wasn’t scared to jump in the water for some beautiful moments with her fiance.

We were so excited to capture these trash the dress photos with Cynthia and Jimmy but it was time to move on from the beach and back into the city for some fun urban San Francisco photos!

Cynthia + Jimmy: San Francisco Engagement Session

I am so excited to share these San Francisco engagement photos with you guys from Cynthia and Jimmy’s recent session with Tinywater. For the first part of the engagement session we played around the Presidio in San Francisco, with Cynthia in a flowy pistachio green bohemian dress and Jimmy in a classic button down and jeans. The lighting during this shoot was absolutely to die for, creating a soft romantic glow around these two lovebirds!

How perfect are these two together? Cynthia has experience being a model, and we can see why! Both of these guys have beautiful smiles and were really comfortable in front of the camera, making all involved feel at ease and allowing us to capture some incredible portraits of the future bride and groom!

Cynthia is oh so stylish! With the perfect wardrobe choices, her hair looking effortlessly styled, and pops of unique touches like these hair feathers peeking out! We hope these San Francisco engagement photos inspire future couples in love to check out the awesome ideas and photos of Cynthia and Jimmy.

We love that these two weren’t afraid of laying in the grass to take some prime San Francisco engagement photos. Where else can you go from countryside to ocean to urban sprawl all in one day except San Francisco? We absolutely adore this city for the amazing backgrounds, textures, colors, and props it gives us naturally.

The sunlight filtering through the trees onto the tall grass gives us a feeling of being in the countryside! If we hadn’t taken these San Francisco engagement photos, I would have thought this was a beautifully styled fashion photo session!

I love the composition of this photograph! With the yellowed grass, the windblown brown tree trunks, and the green foliage in the background, it really is one of my favorites from the Presidio portion of their engagement session.

Stay tuned because in our next few posts we’ll show you the other installments from Cynthia and Jimmy’s San Francisco engagement photos, complete with a mini trash the dress session and a stroll through the colorful and urban cityscape of San Francisco.

More from Stephanie + John: Vintage Engagement Photos at Union Station

More loveliness from Stephanie and John’s Tinywater Los Angeles engagement photography session at Union Station. We were completely smitten with the perfect styling Stephanie pulled off, complete with vintage luggage! Union Station was such a unique location and absolutely perfect for this couple because of their love for traveling.

I love the geometric pattern of the wall tiles together with Stephanie’s very graphic black and white outfit. These two are so stylish, we can see why Stephanie’s favorite city is the fashion capital of the world! This is one of my favorite Los Angeles engagement photography sessions to date because of the couple’s attention to details and diverse locations we were able to photograph.

Union Station was built back in 1939 with a mix of various styles of architecture, including Dutch Colonial Revival, Streamline Moderne style, and Mission Revival. This Los Angeles engagement photography session was so much fun to be able to play inside Union Station, which also has garden patios, marble walls, and terra cotta tile throughout the building.

Stephanie and John brought some awesome details, including her bright red pumps, pieces of movie-worthy vintage luggage, and The Little Black Book of New York, to show their love for the big apple! We love the significance of the book because John proposed to Stephanie in the middle of Central Park on a surprise trip to New York City on Valentine’s Day.

Union Station has also lent itself as a background for numerous television shows, movies, and music videos, and now this incredible Los Angeles engagement photography shoot!

These two should be models! Their classic looks paired with the historic architecture of the 1939 built structure, complete with the original wood paneling and art deco floors really transported us back in time to a place where many couples became reunited after weary travels and long adventures.

Stephanie’s black hat was another swoon worthy accessory during our Los Angeles engagement photography shoot! This one of her sitting on the vintage yellow suitcase with the pop of her red pumps is one of my favorite photos of the bunch.

Los Angeles engagement photography perfection! We were so lucky to make the trek down to Southern California to be able to work with these two lovebirds.

Stephanie + John at Santa Monica Beach

Moving from the Walt Disney Concert Hall to Santa Monica beach, these Los Angeles engagement photos were so much fun to take of the happily engaged couple, Stephanie and John. The beach is one of John’s favorite places, particularly the beaches of Hawaii, but for these Los Angeles engagement photos we settled for the beautiful Santa Monica! He loves heading to the beach to relax and escape the stresses of work together. This set on the beach are so classic and timeless, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

You can just see how much fun we were all having at the beach! The light in these Los Angeles engagement photos was perfect, casting a warm glow on Stephanie and John. These two have been best friends since high school, attended the same college, and stayed close throughout all of those years. We can’t get enough of life-long love stories like theirs!

Stephanie and John weren’t afraid to get in the water. The beach provided a perfect backdrop at dusk for these couple portraits. The setting was so incredible, we almost felt like we were at a fashion shoot!

We captured some beautiful Los Angeles engagement photos as the couple shared a bottle of champagne on the beach. We love the candid photographs we captured of Stephanie and John celebrating their engagement. Some of their favorite things to do together include travelling and wine tasting!

Stephanie learned of Tinywater through a friend who also asked us to take their Los Angeles engagement photos! We were so happy to spend some time in Southern California to be able to work with such a fun couple.

The Santa Monica Pier at night is a fun and colorful sight when all of the rides and shops light up! I particularly like this one of the couple’s silhouettes embracing as the sun goes down.

Stephanie and John are beautiful together in these classic Los Angeles engagement photos. We loved their coordinated outfits, sporting white collared shirts and blue jeans on the beach. Next up are their very fashionable and very vintage Union Station engagement photos, complete with vintage luggage!
