Description
More than just a photo shoot, this is your own private San Francisco experience. Before your session, I’ll help you choose the best location for your style. We’ll consider the backdrop, lighting, weather, wind, tides, crowd levels, and Golden Gate Bridge visibility.
Popular photo locations include:
Battery Spencer
Golden Gate Bridge
Baker Beach
Crissy Field
Palace of Fine Arts
Legion of Honor
Sutro Baths
Lands End
The Presidio
Lovers' Lane
Shakespeare Garden
Alamo Square
San Francisco City Hall
Other scenic San Francisco and Bay Area locations
Whether you're looking for dramatic Golden Gate Bridge views, elegant architecture, lush gardens, rugged coastline, or a quiet hidden overlook, I'll recommend the location that best fits your vision.
Planning a surprise proposal? I'll coordinate every detail in advance, including choosing the best location, timing, and positioning. I'll also handle discreet communication so your proposal feels natural while every emotional moment is beautifully captured.
Most clients tell me they're uncomfortable in front of the camera—and that's completely normal. Throughout the session, I’ll offer relaxed guidance and natural posing so you can enjoy the experience while I capture real emotion, connection, and authentic moments.
Optional extras such as flower bouquets, champagne celebrations, and multiple nearby locations can make your experience even more memorable.
Every selected image is professionally edited with natural color, beautiful skin tones, and timeless styling while preserving an authentic look. Your private online gallery makes it easy to view, download, share, favorite, and order professional-quality prints.
Most sessions include 35+ professionally edited digital images in both high and web resolution, with no watermarks. You can download, print, and share your photos with family and friends.
Whether you're visiting San Francisco for the first time or celebrating a major milestone, you'll leave with a memorable experience and beautiful photographs from one of the world's most iconic cities.
