A man stands in the ocean holding a smiling woman in a white dress, both partly wet, with calm waves and a pale sky in the background—a beautiful moment captured during their Calafia Beach engagement photos.

Elle and Justin’s engagement session at Calafia Beach felt VERY them. They’re both surfers, they love being outside, and the beach has been part of their relationship since the very beginning.

A woman in a white dress and a man stand closely together, smiling, in the entrance of a restaurant in Chinatown with neon signs and food photos on display—a charming moment captured among San Francisco Chinatown engagement photos.

Jenn and Jesse wanted their San Francisco Chinatown engagement photos to feel more like a Hong Kong pre-wedding shoot than a traditional engagement session.
