Dreamy Palace of Fine Arts and Rodeo Beach Engagement
Jamie + Conner
A San Francisco Day Unlike Any Other
Coming from a city where the ocean is hours away, Jamie and Conner knew immediately they wanted a romantic engagement session on the beach. On a rare sunny day in San Francisco, nothing can compare to the sound of waves crashing while running among the giant rock stacks. Pair that with romantic time spent at Palace of Fine Arts with a Rodeo Beach engagement, and you’ve truly experienced the best that San Francisco has to offer.
Jamie and Conner lucked out on this beautiful June evening. The sun was out with not a single cloud in the sky. The temperature was just right, with no wind. Palace of Fine Arts was absolutely golden. And the drive to Rodeo Beach reinforced their decision to take their engagement photos here.
Documenting the Relationship, with gentle Guidance when Needed
Looking forward to this engagement session for months, they felt comfortable in front of the camera and let their relationship shine. The total anticipation of a wedding to come is tangible, while staying fully present in this season of engagement. Their engagement session started at the magnificent Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. An architectural beauty sets a beautiful backdrop for any occasion. The columns offer so many different angles: let yourself be seen or play hide and seek. Maybe let yourself get caught in a kiss.
An Outfit Change and All the Little Details to Complete this Story
A quick drive over the Golden Gate Bridge, and they were at Rodeo Beach in Marin County. They changed into something more casual that would allow them to feel completely free to run and dance on the beach. They included references to the important details: playing card games, traveling, and the heirloom diamonds on her engagement ring.
With not one gust of wind, the sun dipped gently into the ocean, casting a warm glow across the entire beach. The sea stacks brought the drama as golden hour turned into blue hour. Just like that, the most perfect San Francisco evening was over. But these images will live on forever.
