Nancy contacted me last year after she saw photographs from her friend's wedding that we had taken and just about hired me on the spot. This past weekend we met in the afternoon at the Beach Chalet, where Golden Gate Park meets the Pacific, for an engagement session. Outside of phone conversations, it was the first time we all had the chance to meet each other, so it was great to talk with them face to face. It quickly became evident to me that having a camera follow them around was going to push them outside of their comfort zone. But hey, it's my job right?

We traveled through the city and then to the Marin Headlands, with a quick stopover to view a small bridge. It's always a bit of a challenge to me to come to some place so iconic as this and do something that doesn't look like a replica of everyone's tourist photos.

I know there are lots of images here, but I made a slideshow with even more photos. It's work and all, but there's nothing like getting to know a couple and spend the day with them creating memories. One thing is for certain, I can't wait for the wedding! See you both soon!
