Alexandra & Brett's Engagement. San Francisco

A few weekends back I met up with Alex and Brett for their engagement session. Recall me mentioning the Ferry Building as being quite popular? Well, I’m back! They had never explored the marketplace so we walked the long hallway stopping along the way to sample and window shop. There are so many terrific small businesses and food stalls, I’m sure this won’t be their last time here.

Walking from end to end, we found some wonderful light indoors and out! It was a gorgeous day in the City so there were loads of people out enjoying the San Francisco Spring. Bench space along the waterfront was hard to find but opened up after the ferry started loading. Alex and Brett were great together and up for anything. A freestyle bike exhibition occupied Justin Herman so we went with my Plan B location nearby where they danced around a fountain and posed in front of the Transamerica building.

Alex had a couple special requests - cable cars and the Palace of Fine Arts. Certainly can’t miss those SF landmarks and I aim to please so we fit both in before dark. The cable car grips were ever gracious and let us take our fill of pictures. Thanks guys! So many great images, here are some of my faves.

Veronica & Allen's Prewedding Shoot.

Back-to-back shoots on Sunday and Monday. It was another outstanding day to be at the beach again because it was another 80+ degree day, a rarity in San Francisco. Veronica and Allen wanted the theme to be San Francisco landmarks. We started in the Nob Hill area, went to the Palace of Fine Arts, and ended at Baker Beach.

Nob Hill has great views in nearly all directions given its location. In addition, all three cable car lines traverse the hill making for an interesting backdrop alongside the Transamerica Pyramid. For those interested, Powell and California is the one intersection where all three routes cross.

As we walked the Palace of Fine Arts, Allen told me that it was a location in the movie So I Married an Axe Murderer. Well, that got me interested so after a little Google I found a page with movie stills. We were running a bit late but we made it to the beach after driving briskly through the Presidio. Gotta get that 20 minutes of warm light. The sand was crowded with people taking advantage of the temperature. I wonder how many people skipped out of work early? Kind of like Hawaii when work or school interfers with the tide schedule ;)
