Kim and I were in the city last week to photograph Alicia and Eric. These two are so well suited, so well matched-- not just for each other, but for us! We met up with them at the
Hotel Vitale, and when they walked in in their vibrant colors, I knew it was going to be a great shoot!
Americano, the restaurant in the Hotel Vitale, was closed when we arrived, but we quickly learned that Alicia is the kind of gal that knows how to open doors.
This shot was taken from one of the exclusive terraces of the Hotel Vitale.
Next, we strolled through the
Ferry Building, another one of our favorite places.
Our next stop was Pier 1-1/2, where we proceeded to have our minds completely blown at the Peruvian restaurant
La Mar.
First stop, the bar, featuring cocktails made with Pisco, a Peruvian liquor. Delicious...and pretty!
Kim and I have vowed to go back soon, to truly experience this beautiful place.
The bar is fabulous, but the restaurant has an amazing vibe, super-cool and relaxing.
As I previously mentioned, Alicia really knows how to open doors. Here we are in a few unfinshed spaces along the waterfront. At this point I was slightly freaking out-- a beautiful couple in industrial spaces!
Eric and Alicia were fanatastic-- willing to sit in sawdust, snuggle by concrete-- such great sports!
The weather was too beautiful to stay inside, so we strolled down
Pier 7.
As the sun went down we drove to
Mint Plaza, an inspired public space.
Our last stop of the night was North Beach, the alley outside
Vesuvio. A San Francisco landmark, the alley is a great place to shoot.
Alicia and Eric, thanks so much for a phenomenal session! We can't wait for your wedding day!

Kim and I braved the chilly and wet weather to meet up with Priscilla and Todd, at the waterfront in San Francisco. We have been looking forward to this shoot FOREVER! Our original session, scheduled last year, was a maternity session, celebrating their pregnancy. Of course, baby Cruz had other plans, arriving the morning of our session! Needless to say, Priscilla and Todd have been a bit busy. But it was worth the wait. They are an amazing couple...fun-loving, sweet, and oh so romantic!
We started in front of
AT&T Park, home to the San Francisco Giants. The giant palm trees were a great backdrop for some fun shots.
Something about the red umbrella brought out Todd's inner Fred Astaire...
This is the historic Lefty O'Doul Bridge, built by the same engineer that built the Golden Gate!
Look at these fabulous shoes! We did quite a bit of strolling, and these shoes would eventually give Priscilla some serious blisters-- but she was a trooper!
Todd and Priscilla were such great sports-- lying down on the cobblestone sidewalk for this shot.
When the blisters got to be too much, Todd gave Priscilla a piggy back ride. :)
We took a coffee break at the
HiDive-- a really great bar. I know I say this every week, but Kim and I have got to go back when we are not working. :)
MMmmmmmm...coffee!
We could not get enough of this port hole!
We finished up on Pier 28, as the lights of the Bay Bridge came on. What a beautiful ending to a fantastic shoot!
Thanks so much, Priscilla and Todd! We can't wait to shoot your wedding in March!
