MY + NHAN

In a two-part session to celebrate their marriage in San Francisco, I first met up with My and Nhan at Marshalls Beach on a classic, foggy San Francisco afternoon. The fog provided a cool and moody atmosphere and incredibly soft light. We adventured down to the shore, stayed warm, and enjoyed the iconic California Coast and Golden Gate Bridge vistas.

In stark contrast to that session, I met up with them a couple days later at the always stunning San Francisco City Hall. It’s hard to do wrong with that incredible piece of marble and granite filled architecture. We were fortunate to have a quiet day and beautiful light to work with. A splendid couple of days.

The time I spent with Jill and Kaung was filled with laughter both together and at each other. It's this kind of joy in a relationship that I love to photograph and bring out from couples.

Photographing at the San Francisco City Hall, a spectacular space filled with an abundance of soft light and striking architectural features, is always a pleasure.  After a quick informal session at city hall, we headed over to another San Francisco architectural landmark, the Palace of Fine Arts, and then concluded our day basking in the warm sunlight of the SF coast.

We would return to city hall on a quiet Tuesday morning to complete their marriage during a civil ceremony in front of friends and family from near and far. I'm pretty sure we went a little over the 6 person guest limit, but they didn't seem to mind.

Two days with two wonderful people.
