Celebrate your LOVE with an Engagement Session!

 

 

Celebrate your love with a couples photography session! Whether you’re newly engaged, celebrating an anniversary, or simply want beautiful photos together, you can schedule an engagement session. San Francisco Bay Area has all the locations you are looking for. Thinking of beach portraits? Consider a China Beach engagement session — one of my favorite spots, with dramatic rock formations and a breathtaking view of the Golden Gate Bridge. For something lush and romantic, a Golden Gate Park engagement session offers endless options, from the Conservatory of Flowers to a dreamy boat ride on Stow Lake. Let’s plan a photo session that captures your personalities and takes place in a location you love or one that’s special to your story. My couple photography sessions in San Francisco are relaxed, fun, and tailored to you. Let’s plan your perfect shoot!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should we schedule our engagement session?

A:It depends what you will be using your photos for.

 

If you are planning the to use engagement photos for “Save The Date” cards I recommend scheduling your session at least 9 months before the wedding or 12 months before if you are planning a destination wedding or getting married over a holiday weekend. Then allow time for editing and ordering the cards.

 

The location of the session is also a factor. If you would like to go to a vineyard for a little wine tasting than summer and fall would be a better choice.

Q: How far in advance I can schedule an engagement session with you?

A: Reaching out 1-2 month in advance is usually ideal for scheduling an engagement session with me. I typically reserve weekend dates for last-minute wedding bookings, but 2 months before the date I make my schedule available for engagement and other portrait sessions.

Q: What is the turnaround time for engagement photos?

A: Within a two weeks from the session you will receive a link to an elegant (password protected) Online Gallery where you will be able to download your photos from.

Q: How many photos we can expect from the engagement session?

A: On average I deliver 100 photos from each hour photographed, that also applies to the weddings. Considering that photo session is 1 to 1,5 Hour long you can expect between 100-150 edited photos.

Photos will be delivered electronically via password protected Online Gallery and you will be able to download them straight to your computer.

Q: What are the best locations for an engagement session?

A: San Francisco Bay Area offers amazing variety of locations, from urban city scape to beaches, trails and forests, cafes, parks and amazing architecture, but the best location for the session would be the one that has a meaning to YOU, or describes you as a couple. Maybe the place where he/she proposed or where you like to spend your Sunday afternoons.... or maybe you just moved in together and it will be fun to take some photos at your new apartment filled with boxes :) If you’re still not sure give me a call and I will help you pick a great location.

Q: What if it rains on a day of our photo session?

A: If you scheduled your engagement session during winter/ spring months and a week before your session you see high chance or rain let me know about your concerns, we might be able to reschedule it.

In the same time don’t stress if you cannot reschedule it on your end, kissing under umbrella and dogging rain drops together might be more fun and romantic experience then you though, but I totally understand if “soaking wet” is NOT the “look” you are going for :)

Q: What if I'm not good at posing, will you provide direction during the session?

A: Yes! Making my couples feel comfortable in front of camera is my specialty. I know the right poses and activities so you don't feel awkward and your photos will look awesome!

Q: What photo packages do you offer?

A: I offer two photo packages as well as custom packages. Scroll down to see the options.

 

Q: We would like to book your service, how do we proceed?

A: In order to reserve the date I ask my couples for a $100 retainer and their basic contact information. The remaining balance is due on the day of the session.

You can send a retainer via PayPal, Venmo or Zelle.

Please reach out and check availability prior to sending retainer.
