Kim & Alan - Slide Show - San Francisco, CA

Follow up post to the San Francisco trip I took earlier this month. Just wanted to share the slide show put together to a song of Kim's choice. Assembled their portraits along with images of San Francisco to give them some good memories to look back on in years to come. Really looking forward to photographing their wedding in Winnipeg, Canada later this year.

Alan & Kim - San Francisco, CA

Spent a day photographing Kim & Alan up in San Francisco, CA. They were a really cool couple to work with and we got some really good images throughout San Francisco. We started out the day at Alamo Square which over looks the city landscape. Great place to shoot, but, a lot of people that want the same exact shot. Just need a little patience.. Next we were off to Golden Gate Park where we decided to take a stroll to check out the beautiful scenery. The Park was absolutely enormous and you could spend a whole day there photographing, but, we had to move on to capture more. Lunch first though... We headed down to the water a had a great lunch at The Beach Chalet. The fish & chips were quite tasty I must say!
With new energy we headed off to Golden Gate Bridge to get a few more images before calling it a day.
Really looking forward to photographing Kim & Alan's wedding later this year in Canada.
Below are a few samples from the engagement session.

San Francisco Road Trip - Part II

Got back from San Francisco at 1:15 a.m. this morning with my Dad, just enough time to grab a few hours of sleep... A big thank you to my Dad who came on this trip to support what I do, and appreciate and love him for that. 8 hours there and 8 hours back, he was quite the trooper on driving I must say (I wonder where I get it?). We talked almost 90% of the time about everything from A to Z. I think my Father is a very knowledgeable man and I love to pick his brain on an assorted amount of topics. Again I thank him for making the effort to make this trip with me in such a timely fashion. We only stayed for one night because I needed to get back for Michele's Grandfather's service.
Overall the trip was great and I will sharing some images of Kim & Alan in the next couple days.

Thanks Dad!

San Francisco Road Trip

Taking off in a few hours to drive up to San Francisco for an engagement photo shoot. My father is cruising along with me to keep me company and help out a little bit. I am truly fortunate to have a Dad like my mine willing to make these little sacrifices to help out his kids. It's road trips like these that you look back on in years to come and really appreciate. Love my Dad and I am really grateful for all he does for me and my family, he is honestly one of kind.
