I just love this photo shoot at the Sutro Baths.  What about you?

Now this was one really fun engagement shoot in San Francisco.  We only had 30 minutes inside the Exploratorium before it closed, but we made the most of it. It was really rushed, but I left with a huge smile on my face.

The theme for this first part was from Lost.  Except we didn't have the airplane and debris strewn about.  It took a while to find a spot like this for their engagement photos, so we literally were kinda lost in San Francisco.  

This is for Michael's future political campaign as New York city Mayor.  Or at least I hope he runs.  

What do you do when you don't want to do what you did before?  You do what you gotta do and do it in style.  Here's the classic San Francisco engagement photography with slightly different twists.  April and Lennon, you have fun with your wedding in Hong Kong!

Genie and Kevin's engagement photography was captured by our partner team, Aubrey and Blake.  I've been out to San Francisco to shoot many times, but sometimes even I get surprised at the locations other photographers may find. 

San Francisco engagement sessions can be pretty much what ever you want them to be. I love it when my couples get to playing around with creative ideas and push for something a little different in their engagement photography. Rosann and Josh both work at Gaia Online, an anime-themed virtual world, so a conceptual shoot like this was perfect for this creative duo. So what happens when a little red riding hood comes through town? Well, it always seems like the big bad wolf is never too far behind.

Big thanks to my partner in crime, Aubrey, for coming out to so many engagement shoots lately to help me out. She rocks!

How to make sure your engagement pictures come out looking like you had fun. 
1. Come extremely nervous to your shoot.
2. Tell your photographer that you are awkward in front of cameras.
3. Make sure you hire a funny photographer. 

So I don't consider myself being that funny.  Ingrid, tells me that I'm not that funny.  I know I'm not that funny.  I don't crack jokes or have special one liners that I use to make couples laugh.  I think I just tend to make brutally honest observations that my couples and I can all laugh about.  When I can be real and honest about the silliness of trying to make my couples look all romantic in front of a camera, then the fun begins.  I hope that helps every camera shy person feel excited about their next photoshoot!
