The San Francisco Botanical Garden and Sutro Baths. Two stunning locations for an engagement session in beautiful San Francisco. I always feel like the Botanical Garden is an underrated photo location. Of course, everybody knows about the Sutro Baths as an engagement session location, though thanks to the magic of photography (and patience), you would may not think that was the case.

Wonderful spaces, gorgeous light, and a spectacular couple result in some splendid photographs. Already looking forward to their wedding that’s just a couple of days away from this posting!

Sunrise, an underrated time of the day. Personally, it’s probably my favorite time of the day and being able to have Emmeline and Jeff join me for an engagement session in Berkeley Hills made it all the better.

We roamed the hills of Tilden Regional Park then headed to the Berkley Rose Garden and enjoyed the morning light basking across the garden beds and topped it off with a a stroll and a concrete slide adventure just across the way in Codornices Park.

Winter at the beach. It was a magical time for Phan and Ralphs engagement session, as we enjoyed the warm, low, winter sunlight on a beautifully clear afternoon.
