Here is a recent engagement portrait session I photographed in San Francisco, at The Palace of Fine Arts, Baker Beach and a little-known photo-spot near The Palace of Fine Arts, on Lyon Street, San Francisco. There is a special significance to "Baker" in Baker Beach, in this engagement photo session, because that will be the couple's family name, after they tie the knot, later this summer, in San Francisco!

Here is a selection of favorite images, from this fun engagement portrait session...

Here we are, having fun at the place I call the Lyon Street Steps. This beautifully landscaped area is great for photo-taking, but the steep stairs also serve as a workout spot for some locals. A sort of stairmaster with a real San Francisco view!

Next, we headed over to Baker Beach, for the grand finale of this engagement photo-session. Conditions were perfect, as you will see! We had a gorgeous sunset and only light breezes, making the evening very comfortable, considering how San Francisco can often be windy, foggy, cold... or even all three combined. They brought two different outfits to wear, giving greater variety to their engagement portraits. After the fine time we enjoyed , creating these portraits, I am really looking forward to the wedding!
