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!

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.
