Sarah + Jesse = Couple Session!

You may remember Sarah and Jesse from their wedding back in October. Unfortunately they weren’t able to do their engagement session before the wedding, but they hoped to instead have a couple session later. I thought that was a great idea, so of course signed right on.

I know I do this. After every session I am all of a sudden positive that these are my favorite images ever. And this session is no exception. It has so many amazing things! Cool cement staircase, awesome Oakland architecture, nature, and the best image of a couple laying on the ground. Mostly I love that image because of how the light captures Sarah’s eyes and shows off her amazing bone structure.

Let me tell you. Sarah and Jesse are troopers. The wind was kicking up fierce that day and we had to change locations a few times to find shelter, but they were amazingly open to moving around as I tested different sites. Which was great! Heck, Jesse even pointed out where the entrance was to the amazing overpass we got to shoot in!

I hope you love these photos as much as I do!

Aimee + Brian = Engaged!

Do you know what happens when you finish blog posts after 11pm and you have to be up in a few hours? You suddenly get writers block. I know this because I’ve written the draft for this post a million times in my head and it’s all about how much fun I had with Aimee and Brian on this session, how she talked about being a night person while he’s a morning, his love for fishing, their mutual love for the Sharks.

Really. I went on and on and on. And it was funny darn it!

Maybe I can narrow it down to bulletin points.

Aimee told me that they’re going to have an accordian player at their wedding, a nod to her Italian heritage, and I just think that’s so cool!

Her second shirt is the shirt she was wearing when Brian proposed to her. Isn’t that just the sweetest?

They’re both Sharks fanatics! I love hockey and love going to the Sharks games, but, please, don’t ask me what just happened. This guy knocked that guy down then I stared around the rink for 5 minutes trying to figure out where the heck the puck went. Those two would totally school me!

Aimee loves the fact that Brian goes fishing in the early morning hours. It gives her time to lounge!

Brian has a great sense of humor. I say that because he not only made me laugh, but laughed at MY jokes. The ultimate test. ;p

Without further ado, here are the pics! Hope you totally love them Aimee and Brian!

Hey! I’ve met that girl a few times! You get better every time Terra!

Sue + Luke = Married!

Sue and Luke came to me on the recommendation of Pete and Michelle, one of my past couples. The best thing I love about referrals? Getting to see past clients! Pete certainly looked much more relaxed than on the afternoon of his wedding! Ha, who knew weddings could be stressful??

Sue was such an easy going person, a joy to work with, and Luke proved to be just the same. I love how intimate their San Francisco City Hall wedding was. Their day was filled with joy, laughter and hugs. I love these photos so much, and can’t get over them as I look through them. I’m so glad to have been a part of their day, and now you can see a small part of it as well.

Jenny + Jason = Engaged!

I initially met Jenny and Jason at the wedding of their friends, Lisa and Mark. We didn’t formally meet, I actually spied them across a room where you could tell how wrapped up in one another they were from miles away. I took their picture. Fast forward several months and I’m receiving an email from her inquiring about my services, and that picture I took. I admit, I was surprised, I had assumed that they were already married. But they weren’t. And the reason they were so very enraptured with each other? Well, it seems that Jenny and Jason carried on their relationship for three years long distance. Not that they ever told me that. I’m just completely assuming. That is until recently, right around when he proposed, with a panda. The panda made a cameo appearance in their session and you can tell from how well worn he is, how very much Jenny loves that panda. And the man who gave it to her.

Enjoy their photos, their slideshow, their laughter. Jenny and Jason told me they wanted to do things that were more ‘them’, but were open to ideas as well. Which is when I pitched my kung fu battle in a field idea. Mainly stolen from some Karate Kid infatuation I had as a child I’m assuming. I always thought these images would be fun, so I hope you, but mostly Jenny and Jason, think so too.

Enjoy!
