engagement photography that's fun, not awkward
Hate having your photo taken? That’s exactly why engagement sessions exist. Think of this as your chance to get comfy in front of a professional camera before the wedding day whirlwind. We know first-hand how awkward being photographed can feel so our goal is simple: Make it fun, effortless, and unmistakably you!
Your session should capture the essence of your personalities and relationship. Your love story might unfold on your daily BART commute, along a windswept coastline, in a favorite music venue, or even in a galaxy far, far away. Maybe you want to retrace your first date, revisit the bus stop where it all began, or savor a cozy morning at home with your chatty ragdoll.
Fur babies, costumes, and dramatic props? Absolutely welcome—light sabers, typewriters, and vintage motorcycles included. (Seriously. You wouldn't be the first!) Nothing is too wild, we promise.
Fresh out of ideas (or trapped in a black hole of decision paralysis)? Don't worry! We love brainstorming sessions that are entirely you: your humor, your hobbies, your history, and the places that feel like home.
If make-believe is your jam, we can invent a playful storyline inspired by your love story, pick the perfect location, and guide you to bring it to life (like we did for Stephanie & Matt’s epic Disneyland adventure). The result? Photos that feel like cinematic stills from your own imaginary movie, starring none other than you two.
At the end of it all, you’ll have photos that reflect your relationship and your love for each other in the best way. Beyond marking this special chapter in your lives, they'll leave you more confident and excited for your wedding day.
Most of our wedding collections include a complimentary session but, if for some reason we can’t photograph your wedding, we're available for standalone sessions, which start at $500. We have an analog add-on, too, if you love the grainy, organic imperfection of film.
Your session includes a private online image gallery from which you can download edited photos for your socials and wedding website. You can also order prints and wall art with just a few clicks. Our photobooks make fabulous guestbooks and gifts that you and your loved ones will treasure.
Got wanderlust? If your dream session lies beyond Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, or the greater Bay Area (like Diana & Andrew's in Japan), let's chat! If our schedules align, we may even waive the travel fee. But even if they don’t, we’ll make your session extraordinary wherever your story takes us.
