Golden Gate Bridge Engagement Session in San Francisco, CA | Mariette and Brett

I have to start with the fact that Mariette and Brett are the CUTEST couple in the entire world! I first connected with them a year ago as Mariette was finishing up her Masters at UC Santa Cruz (talk about boss babe!). A year ago I was snapping grad photos and fast forward to this year when they reached out for ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS! It’s crazy just how fast time goes by and how much changes in a short year!

We were totally on the same page regarding location, because hello! You can’t go to San Francisco without taking a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge! So what better first location than good ol’ Goldie herself!? The sun was shinning (Karl was no where to be seen!) and we were blessed with the most gorgeous San Francisco Day! We hopped over to the Palace of Fine Arts for a slightly more sophisticated and formal feel for the second half of our session and the sun rays kept doing their thing! Watching the sun poke its glorious rays through the Palace has got to be one of my favorite sights! Mariette and Brett were all heart eyes and giggly as they were totally themselves throughout the entire session! There also may or may not even be a little Ring POP! fun sprinkled in throughout this session! My favorite thing ever as a wedding photographer is when couples feel that they can be completely themselves during our time together, and that truly comes through in Mariette and Brett’s images!
