Bay Area and Los Angeles wedding and portrait photographer
.png)
Shivan & Charith wanted a very urban and dramatic feel to their engagement session and so we had a great time roaming around City Hall and finishing up with some night time shots around the Embarcadero.
Being something of a newbie to San Francisco, it’s great getting to explore the city while having a blast with my couples at the same time. Shivan & Charith, I can’t wait for your wedding this July!
I had such a blast with Kimberley & Brian during our engagement shoot. It was cloudy and rainy all week, and suddenly just in time for our shoot, the sun decided to come and and play. It rained the day immediately after. How lucky were we?
Can’t wait to shoot your wedding next month Kimberley & Brian!

Beautiful work Hannah! The lighting is so awesome on all of these!
I love the emotion in these shots, gorgeous
Can you send some of that beautiful light up here for some Vancouver BC weddings? LOL!! Gorgeous images!
Great photos of a fabby looking couple, look forward to seeing their wedding photos!
Love the photos where you have used the sun flair, great technique.
These are beautiful photos of a lovely couple. Well done. My fave have to be the last one with the awesome colours and sunset.
Great set Hannah! The last two set of pics is just wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
I love the organic feeling of the session!
I have lots of blog posts lined up, but for now, I wanted to share a quick peak at Kimberley & Brian’s engagement shoot.
Can’t wait to post the rest!

Oooh, they look golden. Very nice!
Gorgeous pictures and great use of that backlighting, particularly the close up photo on the right!
AMAZINGGGGG!
Hannah, You made this couple glow, what greats shots.
Love the photo’s..Their love for each other has been captured perfectly.
Beautiful light… looking forward to seeing the rest!
Great work. Love all the pics. Looks like Kimberley and Brian really enjoyed their engagement shoot. The emotion just oozes out.
When Abi from Abi Q Photography first contacted me about doing a photoswap, I was so excited because A) You’d be surprised how few opportunities I have to be on the OTHER side of the camera and B) Abi has an amazing sense of style and I knew that whatever concept she came up with for the shoot would be fabulous.
We wanted grey skies and green hills, a very stormy English countryside sort of vibe. Chic, editorial, and sexy. I’m in love with the photos we got from the shoot, Abi & Ryan were smokin’ hot and everything just came together perfectly! I’m so excited to share these with the world.
Abi & Ryan, you two are amaaazing! Thanks so much for a brilliant shoot!

Ahhh, those are amazing. Her outfit is so cute.
I love the B&W photographs at the end of the post. Great shots and beautiful processing!
And you darling are fabulous!
absolutely gorgeous, dreamy and stylish!
i miss n.cal!
So nice! Lovely composition and just beautiful photography all around!
Beautiful images! Looks like the couple was really relaxed and comfortable with you which made for some great natural poses.
I love those hills and the theme with the umbrella !
LOVE the interaction in these engagement photos. You did a fabulous job on this photo session!
What fun! Great images and I love the red lipstick!
I just found your blog via DWF and love your work! I love the Christmas ornament idea too… great gift idea for next year!
I love these! so sassy and cute!
Hannah — These are really cute pictures. They look like an engagement session. But, I thought you said this was a swap … shouldn’t there be another couple of subjects? 
Oh my Lord, Abi is so cute and they make such a cute couple. You did such a fabulous job Hannah!
Very sweet… use of the umbrella is brilliant!
Wow, these are some really romantic lifestyle portraits. The couple seems so in love. Good eye and post processing of these.
Your work is just exquisite, these are beautiful.
Matin.
Beautiful images Hannah, you did a great job working with them! I love the intimate close-ups.
Wow, your black and whites are probably some of the best black and white conversions I’ve ever seen! You have gorgeous, gorgeous work here… can’t wait to explore the rest of your blog. If you don’t mind sharing, are you using actions to achieve your b&w’s? Awesome shoot!
I’ve already made 2 blog posts from this shoot, but now I’m getting to some of my absolute favorite photos form the shoot! Jamie tracked down this old vintage bike to use as a prop, and I just love the flirty cuteness of this last look. Jamie’s polka dot shorts, Soheil’s cap, the smiles and the kisses, this was the absolute PERFECT way to end the day.

Tres chic! I love their mojo. Super fun!
They look like they stepped out of a fashion mag. Great photos. Love the compositions!
Amazing session Hannah!
Simply beautiful theme and photos. Love the way you incorporated clothing and props into this shoot. Very beautiful photos!
such a cute session…great images!
Very very very nice! Colors, contrast, that natural look. Just amazing!
What a gorgeous couple! Looks like so much fun! The dog is too cute, too!
LOVE these images! Fun, creative and two good looking subjects
I love it so much when couples really bring out their own personalities in their engagement shoots. Jenn and Steve really wanted to bring their love of football into their photo shoot and we had a lot of fun running around a local park in Piedmont.
Steve actually proposed to Jenn after he got Steve Young from the 49ners (Jenn’s favorite team) to come to her class (Jenn is a teacher) and present her with an autographed jersey. How incredible is that?
As the sun started to set, we headed off to UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science to finish off the session with some gorgeous views of the East Bay.
Love love love this last shot.
Thanks Jenn & Steve for a great day and for introducing me to new and beautiful areas of Berkeley to me!

Gorgeous!!! Can’t wait to see you in a couple days!
What a great session! You did catch the great moments. I love the lst shot too!
What a great set of moments. And did I see some fall color in there? I didn’t know we had any of that in the Bay Area. This looks like a fun shoot.
Oh my god, that last one!
Those last few from Berkeley look amazing….what an awesome way to finish up a session!
What a fun session! These are all great but I really love the first b&w. –Robert
Wow, they’re amazing. You guys are so good together. Gorgeous!
I love it, Hannah! The football series is fantastic, because you’ve made them look tough and sweet at the same time.
Nice work. The football jersey photos are a lot of fun and the last shot is just killer!
Beautiful work!! Very cool session – love the last shot.
LOVE the silhouette shot. Just beautiful. What a fun couple and you captured some great pictures!
Awesome silhouette shot, the night shot of the overlooking the bay is really nice too! Great work Hannah.
…and he’s a Pats fan! Go New England! Great fun and spontaneity. Cheers!
Great set.
I really enjoyed your engagement portrait sessions. The story concepts were very creative and fun to follow. Your clients must be thrilled with the results.
You’re right – the last shot is nice. Must be great to be there at dawn.
Great work! You guys do a fantastic job of capturing the essence of the couple. And, it looks painless and so much fun!
Wow – fantastic vista in that last shot.
Outfit change! As promised, here’s another look at the photo shoot from Sausalito a few weeks back. I absolutely loved each and every outfit that Jamie and Soheil had for this shoot. And they went from old school charming in the last blog post to deliciously glamorous in this one. A few people stopped and asked if they were movie stars, and don’t they just like like they stepped off a Hollywood set?
One more outfit change to come, and it’s my favorite one of all!
