Devyne & Taji’s Engagement, San Francisco Fort Point & Palace of Fine Arts

I love that San Francisco is so full of great places to shoot engagement sessions, and always enjoy having a little more flexible of a schedule than most wedding days. One of the things I love about my life is the opportunity to get to know couples who are totally in love. Devyne and Taji were such a joy to spend time with. I’m more and more convinced that great art and beautiful pictures emerge when two people truly love being together. Everything else just seems to take care of itself. We had to improvise a little because of construction being done around the Palace of Fine Arts but we found some great light anyway and the extra time allowed us to head over to the bridge and spend some time at Fort Point and the surrounding Marina. Love the results!

These first two were taken within 15 seconds of each other. I’m not sure which I love more, the colors of Devyne’s dress, or the simplicity of the black and white and how it emphasizes the tenderness of the moment. I’m enchanted by the way the flowers in the background mirror Taji and Devyne’s pose. Just what I saw in my mind’s eye! Light! light! light! Love. Someone’s looking good! I dig those stylin’ pockets, the house frame, and the GQ expression on Taji’s face. Happy.
