Lucie and Brendan have such a great story! They actually went to high school together but didn't start dating until a couple of years ago! So naturally, what better place to do their engagement photos than at their old high school in Oakland? In addition to hanging out by the lockers, we also hit other fun spots in San Francisco, including Lands End. No matter how many times we photograph that place, it is just so gorgeous we never get tired of it and always seem to find new trees and vistas. Lucie and Brendan are only the second couple we've ever photographed to opt for a morning engagement session so that morning light was also a special treat! These two are getting hitched in September, and we can't wait for the wedding!
Why is it that some of our most memorable engagement sessions always include some kind of injury? Well, we can add Junie and Eddie's session to that list as Adm came away from the shoot with a big lump and bruise on his forehead. If you check out the ice cream photos at the bottom of this post, you'll notice that one is from a super high angle - that would be me shooting while on top of Adm's shoulders. Pretty impressive, eh? Unfortunately for Adm, during my climb to the top, I forgot to hold onto my cameras which ended up conking him in the head. Oops. Luckily, I was able to somewhat crawl my way out of the doghouse by immediately treating it with a delicious ice cream cone.
Sometimes I think we've never met a challenge we didn't like. So, when Grace and Michael came to us with the idea to take their wedding on the road, all we could think was how much fun it would be to have an adventure wedding. Besides, it is the perfect wedding for photojournalists because what adventure doesn't make for a great story?
