Greg and Rachael :: Walnut Creek Newlywed Session

How cute are these guys? They've been married less than two months so they look at each other the way that newlyweds do. But something tells me that they will be looking that way at each other in forty years. I loved spending time with Greg and Rachael and wish them the best of luck in their brand new marriage!

Stephanie and Russell :: SF Engagement

I picked them up outside their place in San Francisco. It was a GORGEOUS, sunny day in the city and I was excited! Stephanie greeted me with her trademark mega-watt smile and I went to say "hi" to Russ. We hadn't met before and I could tell he was a little apprehensive (as many grooms are the first time in front of the camera). He warmed up a bit as we talked on the way to Chrissy Field and it didn't take long for him to relax (some Heineken packed away in his bag for the road helped too:-)). WE had so much fun that afternoon. Stephanie and Russell are deeply in love and super-excited for their wedding next month! I was already really looking forward to shooting the wedding after meeting Stephanie a while back. And now that I've had the pleasure of spending some time with both Stephanie and Russ, I am ecstatic! It will be like shooting the wedding of old friends. We finished the session at one of their favorite little bars where we chatted over a cold beer. It reminded me of the pubs I visited with my Grandmother when I spent a summer in England with her many years ago. It also provided the perfect backdrop for a final picture and was the perfect way to end the day. Enjoy!
