On a warm Sunday afternoon, We met Linda and David at the Slanted door in San Francisco. Linda and I had been e-mailing for few months now. Instantly, we became facebook friends but we had never met before. We thought it would be nice to get to know each other in person before the engagement session so we decided to meet for lunch. Linda and David had been close friends for 5 years before they recently got engaged. Maybe it was because their relationship grew out of a friendship, David was always so very attentive to Linda and Linda was also very sweet with him. I loved the way Linda called David, “Babe” not “Baby”- (Hope it was okay to reveal that Linda) They were a little camera shy in the beginning but they got over that half way through our shoot. David surprised me with some hidden GQ poses at the end of our session. Linda was so patient with the cold breeze that bothered us a little at the end of the session. It was hot and long day in San Francisco but we still liked each other at the end of the shoot so we went to dinner together in Oakland where we had Kalbi and soju! What a perfect way to end the evening. I am starting this preview with our last image because I just love everything about this picture. Linda and David, Can’t wait to photograph your wedding in August! Enjoy this preview.
At Baker beach where we caught one of the most amazing moments in San Francisco. The fog was rolling in right before sunset.
One of our first shots of the day. David was uncomfortable in front of my camera at first but he was very witty.
Can’t forget the ring shot! Ladies, can we say that David did well?
Their moment before I began directing the shots. I don’t really like to direct my subjects too much because I really love capturing them as they are.
We were so lucky to find this cute store called “Cheen-goo” . It means “friends” in Korean. That’s who they were before they got engaged.
Linda is so beautiful inside and out.
The warm flare…You guys, please remember these warm and fuzzy moments always.
So in love…
I told Linda I loved the way she laughed. Her laughter was addictive!
Here, David was slowly getting use to me making bad jokes.
Perhaps it was their love that made this scene so beautiful
They are so HAPPY that they found each other!
But to be honest, they were just so happy to be done with their engagement session because we were all really hungry.
