Couples Photography

Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, looking for romantic lifestyle portraits around San Francisco, planning engagement photos for your save-the-dates, or setting up a surprise proposal, I offer couples photography sessions designed around your timeline and vision. All sessions take place in real Bay Area locations — parks, waterfront spots, urban neighborhoods, and beyond. Every package includes guided posing so you're never standing there guessing what to do with your hands.

I usually recommend scheduling closer to sunset when possible for the best lighting, but timing can depend on the location and overall session plan.
