San Francisco Engagement : Winnie + Thomas

With summer fast approaching it was nice to leave the East Bay and come down to Chrissy Field in San Francisco to start the engagement session for Winnie and Thomas. There were a lot of people around Chrissy Field but Winnie and Thomas both knew a secluded area not too far from the Golden Gate Bridge where we could start out. They both had a cute nervousness around them but it all disappeared after we went into the super cold water of the bay. Needless to say, we didn’t last too long in the water but we got some great photos a few minutes later when they got to jump around! Winnie and Thomas were having such a cute time doing different poses while jumping around.  We took a quick detour over to the Presidio where Thomas said that there was a great areas for urban shots.  There were a bunch of old brick buildings that looked like old military bunk houses.  I kept asking Winnie and Thomas to look at Jeff during the shots and there was a lot of joking around.  I think that Winnie and Thomas were really having a really good time joking and laughing around at this point.  I know for sure that on their big wedding day it will be super fun!

We then moved down to the Ferry Building since the sun was starting to go down and it was getting super cold down by Chrissy Field.  Winnie really wanted to get a photo of her and Thomas having coffee through the window so we snuck into the Starbucks where they had their first date, and got a few shots in before anyone noticed.  Thomas was so nice to buy me a hot apple cider while I was prepping the shot like a ninja.   I think that may be my new favorite non coffee drink from Starbucks.

Anyway, after we got our shots in at Starbucks we moved down to the Ferry Building.  Winnie and Thomas did a quick change and we went outside to get some night shots.  I asked Winnie and Thomas to start dancing in front of the Ferry Building Sign and they started up.  Jeff brought out his iPhone and started cranking out some music which made them start to really get into the dancing!  After a few songs we wrapped up and took our final few sets in front of the Bay Bridge.
