Valerie + Kyle: Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden Engagement

The quiet hidden gem that is Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden in Palo Alto is an idea photo location for couples who want greenery and delicate flowers adorning the backdrop of their engagement photos. Valerie and Kyle and I spent a peaceful morning at the garden, soaking up the sun and taking photos among the rose bushes, hedged walking path, and gazebo. For such a compact space, this garden gave us plenty of romantic photo spots, and best of all, we basically had it to ourselves as this area tends to not be overrun with guests in the mornings. It made for such a pleasant morning getting to know these two, and I’m delighted that I get to photograph their wedding this fall!


Rosie + Matt: Lovers Lane + Baker Beach Engagement

For Rosie and Matt’s engagement photo session, they wanted the best of two worlds: the moody, woody vibes of Lovers Lane, and the sunny coastal view of the Golden Gate bridge at Baker Beach. The sun coming through the trees at Lovers Lane gave us such beautiful lighting illuminating this glowing couple, and the sun at the beach gave us bright blue skies and water.

Having a bright sunny day was such a treasure for a city that is nearly always a little gloomy and overcast, and it was a joy being able to spend this day capturing romantic memories for these two! They are getting married in New York next year, and I am so honored to be asked to be there to photograph them again!
