Engagement Photos

Better late than never as they say! For our engagement shoot, we certainly put that notion to the test.

With a rough idea of the places and poses we wanted to hit, we had a serviceable itinerary from which to start. Still, opportunities for improvisation were plentiful! More than once we found ourselves somewhere we hadn’t planned, and delighted at the shots that resulted.

Finally, with the last of the sun dramatically lighting the sky, we made our way to Land’s End for some last shots amidst the characteristic coastal trees and the otherworldly glow of a foggy San Francisco dusk.

All in all, a joyful little jaunt and a respite amidst the hussle and bustle of wedding logistics, work, and life in general. Please find the full album below (bonus bits at the end!).
