It was gloomy and rainy during Haley + George’s engagement session in San Francisco (I think there’s an Alanis Morisette song about that?) .. but we were too busy laughing to notice! I love these two people and could photograph them every week and be happy

A fellow wedding-industry friend of mine recently asked me what my ideal client was. I said, “I just really like couples who are super into each other”. So ladies + gentlemen, may I present to you, Haley and George – my ideal clients.

Flash forward to a month ago – Emily and her FIANCE Paul took me to the spot they tried to have their first date, the spot they actually had their first date, and the coast of the beautiful City they not only live in, but will be married in this fall.

On the day of our shoot, Emily + Paul looked like all the good parts of a Nicholas Sparks movie (for their wedding, I’ll be more prepared with popcorn and kleenex).

I’m totally smitten by their sweetness towards each other and feel so honored I get to be the storyteller of their wedding

If you know Tyler, you know that I am the luckiest girl on the planet. If you don’t know him, you should find a way to meet him, because he’s the best!!

After almost 3 years of dating, we’re SO excited to enter in this new and wonderful chapter in our lives!

Ty sent me this video yesterday and thought I’d share with you all! As a wedding photographer, I am lucky enough to be invited into the love stories of so many wonderful people.. so it’s only fair that I return the favor a little bit

Being on the other side of the camera during the most exciting moment of my life validated what I do and why I love doing it. Capturing these moments are so special. We are so blessed by our talented friend Josh Gruetzmacher for these photos! Josh really went above and beyond the call of duty for us on this one. A few days before Tyler proposed, Josh and his wife went to scout the proposal site (Land’s End in San Francisco) on their own time..then, he got up early the day of the proposal to walk through everything with Tyler before the big show, and to top it all off, he surprised us with Champagne to celebrate

We also owe a huge thank you to WONDERFUL Tracy Matthews who designed the amazing ring with Tyler Ty had a ton of ideas and she helped him create and execute this perfect piece for me. The rose-cut diamond, the leaves on the side and the branch details on the band (you may not be able to see these in the photo..) are perfect! It was so fun when Tyler showed me the conversations that he had with Tracy– she really tries to get to know her couple and what makes them unique. I emailed her after I got engaged and told her that the ring was perfect and that I miss it every time I take it off to shower. I totally look forward to stopping at red lights, just to stare at it Is that bad?

Thanks for looking at our engagement story  I’m just so so happy! But what makes me just as excited as all these memorable milestones is imagining every day with this incredible man by my side.

I cannot wait to marry you, Tyler.
