ANGELA & GORDAN // LOVERS LANE & BAKER BEACH ENGAGEMENT // SAN FRANCISCO, CA

We cannot stop ogling over the incredible engagement session we shared with these two––I mean, those outfits?! Angela‘s glamorous first dress was handmade by a fashion designer friend of hers. And her second was perfect for that golden hour glow at the beach, flowing beautifully in the ocean breeze. Gordan looked absolutely great too, but come on…she’s amazing right?

Sarah & Scott // Olympia’s Valley Estate // Petaluma, Ca

This NY-SF couple found us back in 2018. They were already planning a long engagement and we did their engagement session what seems like a million years ago! In fact, it’s been so great getting to know these two they definitely feel like friends at this point. It was almost four years until their wedding actually happened, what with pandemic-related rescheduling!

Sophia & Thomas // City Hall Zoom Elopement IN 2020 // San Francisco, CA

We couldn’t be happier about this exchange of nuptials! Our dear friend Sophia finally married her prince, Thomas. The two have been together for over 10 years now and finally got engaged this year! Of course, she was left planning a wedding for the (not-so) lucky 2020––with hundreds of guests-to-be. Unfortunately, she had to change her plans but was determined to marry her man anyway.

Apartment List // Throwback House Party // January 2019

The Apartment List 2019 Company Party may have been the coolest event of the year. Robin (à la Events by Robin of Southern California) really visualized a unique experience for the staff at this property company to celebrate their annual company gathering.

Morgan & Jimmy’s Windswept Desert Engagement // Joshua Tree, California

Morgan and Jim came to us with the idea of meeting up at Joshua Tree National Park. It is obviously a favorite for so many SoCal residents since it should only take about 2 hours to drive there from the middle of L.A. Also, Jim had some close ties to his Army friends based close by in Twenty Nine Palms, and would explore the park often…
