Engagement Portrait Session with Kinjal & Alan

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Kinjal and Alan were the lucky winners of our Engagement Portrait raffle last year. We started our shoot at the Embarcadero center in San Francisco and walked over to Union Square. We had certain places that we definitely knew we wanted to cover in the photo session. However, as usual, we stopped and took impromptu pictures as we made our way through the City trying to capture the essence of San Francisco.

With great weather at San Francisco and a fun loving couple, it was no surprise that the 3 hours session just flew by

Congratulations Kinjal and Alan, it was a pleasure spending the afternoon with you!

Bhumika & Bharat’s Sign-in Book

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

We love taking couples out on portrait sessions. We love it even more when they get to show off their photos to all of their guests! To that end, custom sign-in books are a great way to show off photos and create a topic of conversation at wedding receptions.

Well, Bhumika & Bharat just got married over the weekend, and here’s the sign-in book I made for them. We printed it in a really nice 10×10 hard cover book, metallic finish on the cover & thick, lay-flat pages inside:

Mayuri & Kunaal’s Engagement Portraits

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

A little springtime vacation meant this blog was quieter than planned! Sorry about that

Here’s a few shots from a fun portrait session we had in Half Moon Bay with Mayuri & Kunaal. This shoot was ALL about what they love to do and what’s meaningful for them. As you’ll see from the sampling of photos, we started at some local stables since Mayuri grew up with horses. We went to the Half Moon Bay Ritz since that’s where they became a couple. Had some fun on the putting green, and had a little picnic on the beach. All in all, a very unique session since Mayuri & Kunaal really spent time thinking about what they love about each other and what they love doing together!

On to the photos!

The stables had this AWESOME barn. And the light?! To die for!

A little wine tasting never hurt anyone…

I personally love the whole series of these putting green photos. Mayuri & Kunaal had so much fun there, it’s hard not to notice how much they love each other…

I just love unplanned shots. We found some green spots along the way to the beach and couldn’t help but spend some time there…

Champagne on the beach? Yes!

Thanks for a great portraits session, see you guys later this month!
