This was my first time meeting Julie and Ryan, two weeks before their big day in Carmel. Julie just graduated from nursing school and accepted a job in Reno. They decided to do their engagement session few weeks ago so Julie drove over to San Francisco the night before and Ryan took a day off from work. We planned to take some pictures inside the DeYoung Museum, but unfortunately King Tut and his crew were visiting from Egypt and they told me that I needed a special permit, which I did not have, to photograph the engagement session inside the museum. Then we walked over the the garden area hoping to take few shots there, but the security guard did not give us permission to enter so we decided to walked over to the Japanese Tea Garden. It was beautiful as always and no special permit was needed for photographing.
I love being here on a weekday. There were a lot less tourists on a Thursday than a Saturday, which made the Golden Gate Park much more enjoyable. The koi ponds and the trees had a special calming effect on me that I wished I live a little closer by so I could come here more often. We were having a lot of fun shooting the session at the Japanese Tea Garden.
This is actually my 4th time shooting engagement session at the Golden Gate Park, check out my other GGP engagement sessions!
