San Francisco, CA. Bridal Portraits
The Marin Headlands is hands down one of my favorite places in the world. I’m a nature person all the way, even though my family and I do live in the San Francisco, an incredibly dense city!
We are surrounded by people and life and buildings galore, but we are also adjacent to some of the most epic locations in California. Being able to experience the majestic beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge while still feeling immersed in nature is such a special combination that never gets old.
Cam and Nela are a stunning and lovely Utah couple who have big love and familial ties to the Bay Area. Even though their wedding was in Utah, they knew far in advance that they wanted to have their bridal portraits done in San Francisco. I always love getting to know my couples as well as I can prior to our creative experience and getting to know them both was a joy. Nela is a pro football player and Cam is a nurse, both with giving hearts and adventurous spirits.
Knowing this, I knew these two locations would be perfect for this couple. We lucked out and had an unseasonably warm spring day and the sun was beyond golden. Nela and Cam did their first look right before we started our session since both of them hadn’t had the pleasure of seeing each other in their wedding garb. Cam’s wedding dress is absolutely stunning and Nela had the sweetest reaction. Their first was such a cutie little treat!
The first half of our creative session was in the Marin Headlands with the Golden Gate Bridge providing the perfect background. We had the help of Cam’s lovely sister in law and mother, which is always a great addition. I highly recommend a trusted extra set of hands for bridal portraits, whether it’s to hold your heels while we walk, to adjust the veil or even just have a water handy. After the Headlands, we drove down to Rodeo Beach. The sun was absolutely spectacular and I will always love the perfect golden glow that we achieved on this day.
Cam and Nela were such a dreamy bride and groom and I'm forever in love with their images and adventurous spirit. If you’re looking for a wedding, engagement or bridal photographer I’d love to learn more about how I can help capture you and the person you love!
