ANGELA & GORDAN // LOVERS LANE & BAKER BEACH ENGAGEMENT // SAN FRANCISCO, CA

We cannot stop ogling over the incredible engagement session we shared with these two––I mean, those outfits?!

Angela‘s glamorous first dress was handmade by a fashion designer friend of hers. And her second was perfect for that golden hour glow at the beach, flowing beautifully in the ocean breeze.

Gordan looked absolutely great too, but come on…she’s amazing right?

Our time together traveled the route of the quintessential engagement session in San Francisco––these stops are classics for a reason!

Starting in Lovers Lane is a must. There’s no place quite like it for those grandiose, mid-stroll shots. Then, you just pop on over to nearby Baker Beach for a dreamy SF sunset.

We particularly loved how Angela brought some florals along, and the subtleties of the simple magic they created on the beach. 

Psst…photographer secret! We were able to bring along our battery-operated Profoto Strobe Light to mimic the quickly fading sun by supplementing the lighting and creating some really pretty golden light.

Love being able to work in an ever-changing outdoor environment like that!
