The Bay Area has my heart

I finally got around to editing these photos from my family's trip to the San Francisco Bay Area last month. We spent a good amount of time exploring the beautiful city, going into cathedrals and museums (where I saw a photography exhibit of Cindy Sherman's work), and seeing all other requisite sights of the city.

 We drove over the Golden Gate bridge, but it was enshrouded in fog, as it so often is. Strangely enough though, I like it better that way. It gives the bridge this incredibly mysterious feeling, and I love driving through the fog and watching it roll over the hills. One of my favorite San Francisco sights :)

 We went to Muir Woods a few days later, a redwood forest I've always wanted to see but never had the chance to until then. I was amazed at the beauty of the gigantic trees, the peaceful walkways and forest trails, and I loved spending time with my family exploring the woods. It was a perfect day.

 We finished off the evening by going back into the city, which is my favorite at night. It's so alive with throngs of people and bright lights, and a bustling city is something I love more than anything. We drove out to the outskirts of San Francisco and saw the most gorgeous view of the city at night.
It was the perfect way to end the night :)

Folsom Bridals-- Maddi and Brian

These bridals were some of my favorite I have ever had the pleasure of photographing! Brian and Maddi were such a beautiful couple, and so much fun to explore old town Folsom with. I hope you love these photos as much as I do!

We started out the evening by doing a 'First Look', and I cannot get over Brian's face when he saw his wife-to-be for the first time in her gorgeous gown! So sweet :)

 We then took some photos on the temple grounds, which looked absolutely gorgeous in the evening light.

 After we left the temple, we went to Old Town Folsom and got some ice cream at the neighborhood candy shop! It was such a perfect environment for the adorable couple.

While we were taking photos in the downtown area, a man suddenly walked by holding a guitar, and played a song for the couple to dance to. I wish I could remember how the entire song went, but the chorus said "I love you, will you marry me?" It was literally one of the most perfect moments of my life, and I was so happy to have been able to capture it on camera. 

This was a bridal shoot I will never forget, and I am so happy with the photos we got from this evening. This couple was beautiful in every way, and I hope they have the happiest life together. Congrats Maddi and Brian! :)
