And thanks for stopping by! My work reflects my desire to add some whimsy, enchantment and beauty to the world. It is my way of sharing a bit of my heart. I love the laughter and smiles, but I am also drawn to the quiet, intimate moments that are filled with emotion. My goal is to capture the essence of your wedding day, all the little things that come together to paint the big picture. 

welcome to my blog...

This colorful Haight Ashbury engagement was actually just the first half of Magali and Andres’ engagement session. Magali is also a Googler, so I was able to meet up with her for lunch. Magali is from France and Andres is from Spain, and most of their family is back in Europe. They are having their wedding in Southern France in Magali’s parents’ backyard, which just sounds like a dream! They weren’t originally going to have engagement photos, but they realized they wanted photos that showed off their life in San Francisco.

They decided the best way to do this was by having the first half of their engagement session on the streets of Haight Ashbury, a quintessential district in San Francisco. I’ve lived in the Bay Area my entire life, but I have never been to Haight Ashbury. Haight Ashbury is a fun neighborhood filled with bright, colorful store fronts and all sorts of incredible murals. There are also some seriously beautiful houses. I always love walking the streets of San Francisco and looking at all the houses. They all have so much personality. Every time you turn a corner, there’s another fun backdrop for photos!

Magali and Andres found an article with 49 of San Francisco’s awesome murals and several of them are in Haight Ashbury. We had so much fun walking around Haight Ashbury, stopping at the best murals! How cool is that rainbow mural? I LOVE that there’s a different texture/pattern in each of the colors.

Keep an eye out for the second half of their engagement session! We went to Baker Beach right before sunset and got some absolutely gorgeous light. Literally the entire time we were driving there, I was geeking out over the light, haha!
