San Francisco Botanical Garden, Lands End & Wood Line Engagement Session » San Francisco

Shuang and Luke have traveled the world together and got engaged in Santorini last year. Wanting to keep it simple, they decided on a small intimate dinner party wedding later this year. But to celebrate and mark the occasion, they reached out to me for an extended engagement session in San Francisco. For their shoot, we started off at the San Francisco Botanical Garden before walking the cliffs at Lands End. As the fog started rolling in, we wrapped up the shoot in the Presidio at Andy Goldsworthys’ Wood Line.

Presidio Wood Line + Baker Beach Engagement Session

Sarah and Mike's relationship blossomed in San Francisco with a first date that had a rocky start due to a rude waiter but quickly and naturally unfolded to a five hour long evening full of laughter and beer at a local dive bar. When Mike decided to propose to Sarah, he surprised her during a trip home to Georgia. Enlisting the help of Sarah's nephew who brought in the ring, he popped the question in front of her family on the same weekend as her her parent's 45th wedding anniversary. Since she lives so far away from her family, it was extra special to have everyone be a part of that moment. For their engagement session, we chose start at the Wood Line in the Presidio as Sarah loves eucalyptus trees. Afterwards, we wrapped up the shoot at Baker Beach for some iconic Golden Gate Bridge photos.
