Alison & Cass: ENGAGED! - San Francisco Photographer

Wow! What a fun and so in-love couple! We spent the better part of the late afternoon and early evening together in San Francisco.  Started out at McCovey Cove at the AT&T Park because they are San Francisco Giants fans and then we went in search for some cool brick buildings and other fun locations to get some great shots.

The first time I met these two a few months ago I knew they would be a blast to photograph. They lived up to it and then some! Ali is so spunky and Cass is a very cool laid back kind of guy. They fit together like a hand-in-glove. Her personality kept me smiling the entire time and I tell ya, I am so looking forward to their wedding in October!

It was a bit windy for our day in San Francisco but that is to be expected and we all had a great time regardless.

Thank you so much Ali and Cass for a super fantastic day in the city and I look forward to seeing you both again very soon! You were both super fun to spend the day with.

A special thanks for my hubby, Devin for being a wonderful second shooter. Your photos rocked!

Cass loved the arches and architecture of this building. Can you blame him?!

San Francisco in Black and White - San Francisco Bay Area Photographer

I celebrated the birthday of our fabulous nation this 4th of July weekend in an untraditional way. My husband and I spent a couple of days in one of our country's most beautiful, unique and colorful cities, San Francisco.

It was my very first time riding on a cable car, hanging out in Union Square and going to a few of my in-law's favorite restaurants. We had our fair share of oysters at the Swan Oyster Depot and Foreign Cinema as well as enjoyed some amazing meals at Le Colonial. Too much fun in two days if you ask me but I loved every moment!

I have lived in the area for about 8 years now but we don't get the chance to visit the city very often so I'm always in awe at the gorgeous old buildings, tons of people and crazy drivers. This time I decided to be a little bit touristy and had my camera out the majority of the time and am so glad I did. 

I took the photos as if I was viewing everything in black and white for an old city feel. I love black and white photography as it evokes a lot of emotion and shows off amazing detail. Enjoy!
