Eunice and CY met me on Mt. Tamalpais where we photographed some of my favorite couples portraits I’ve ever taken. The landscape was perfect for these two as it overlooked the city on a clear day, the ocean in the opposite direction, and had endless nature trails to explore. But my favorite part was the loving energy that they gave to these portraits. They were very calm, loving with one another, and I could feel that they were in the moment. They were open to exploring expressing their connection and really gave this their all. I could have spent days photographing them here and will always appreciate the couple of hours we were given.

What makes these engagements truly beautiful though are Eunice and CY and the energy they brought with them. Going into the session they had a good idea of what they wanted which we communicated beforehand so we could simply show up, experience our environment, and create. We spotted deer, embraced a few silly moments here and there, and photographed well into sunset when fog rose and rain fell. They allowed themselves to feel vulnerable and interact with little guidance, while also taking my direction for any and all ideas. I can’t thank them enough for the energy and trust they brought to these engagements.
