How it went

The trails through Golden Gate Overlook open up onto views you can't see from the road. We picked our way along the ridgeline, stopping at the angles that mattered.

Most of what looks like "posing" was actually just walking, talking, and pausing when the light hit right. We work this way on every shoot; the couple barely notices the camera by the second pass.

Trail shoots take more out of you than the photos suggest. Half a mile of walking, a thousand feet of elevation, the right light at the right turn, and then it's over.

The shoot
The whole shoot, not just the highlights

Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.
