I can’t believe we are already in the middle of August! It’s been quite the very busy wedding season – I’ve already photographed 5 weddings within 15 days! Despite it being busy season, I’m super excited to share this romantic engagement session of Sam and Dmitry!! Before I met them, Sam had a very specific vision for her engagement session which was to have a very whimsical teepee set up and to jump into the water. Luckily, I’ve had the experience to shoot a similar session so I knew exactly what I needed to do to capture these for them. They set up a teepee in the Presidio along the very rustic woods. Together, they are madly in love and it’s evident. I really enjoyed photographing their chemistry on camera! For our second location, we headed to Baker Beach because they wanted to have a trash the dress session. I’m so happy that the weather cooperated and that the sun was out shining. They did such a great job standing in the cold water looking so beautiful together.
