Ragen & Mitch's Baker Beach Engagement Session | San Francisco Bay Area Wedding Photographer

I am so excited to photograph the wedding of these two lovely people next fall just outside of my hometown of Sacramento! For their engagement session we chose Baker Beach in San Francisco in large part so that they could bring their sweet one year old labradoodle, Fitz! We had the best time playing ball, running around in the sand, and cozying up to stay warm (them, not me, lol). Ragen and Mitch asked if they could bring along one prop - American and Canadian flags! I had fun incorporating them into their engagement session :)

Lindsey & Brian's Saratoga Springs Wedding | San Francisco Bay Area Wedding Photographer

Lindsey & Brian's day was nothing short of magical beneath the towering redwoods of the Santa Cruz mountains. Tucked away on a winding road in Saratoga, Saratoga Springs is a mountain oasis a world away from Silicon Valley. As you step out of your car the first things you notice are the drop in temperature and the smell of fresh greenery. The entire area exudes romance, similar to that of a fairy tale. Add in two beautiful people (Lindsey and Brian, obviously) and it's a perfect location for a wedding.

I lost count of the times I laughed alongside these two. From the moment we met at a Starbucks in Los Altos to discuss their wedding we were all at ease, fast friends. It was an honor and a privilege to document their day, as easy at that was with so much beauty -inner and outer- surrounding us.

Congratulations you two!

Crystal & Jonathan | San Francisco Bay Area Wedding Photographer | Cinnabar Hills

While I get ready to edit the rest of this gallery, I wanted to share some sneak peeks! I had a blast shooting Crystal and Jonathan's wedding at Cinnabar Hills in South San Jose last weekend. The rolling hills, oak trees, and fall light are some of my favorite things about living back in the Bay Area.

I can't wait to share more!
