Boy meets Girl. Boy falls in love with Girl. Boy and Girl get a dog and then have an engagement session at two of San Francisco’s most beautiful locations. That’s where A Girl and A Camera Photography comes in. These two wanted to do their engagement session in the two places they love: Buena Vista […]

This is the story of Alexa & Paul’s Foggy summer wedding at The Mavericks Event Center in Half Moon Bay. As is typical in the summer on the coast of California, the fog made an appearance on their wedding day. But the cool air was no match for all of the warmth of friends and family […]

These two are getting married in Spain and wanted to represent where they created a life together. So we headed over to beautiful Land’s End for their engagement session. Summer in San Francisco is pretty cold, and Karl the Fog always appears correct when my sessions start – it never fails. So even though this time […]

Looking back on 2018, I feel so honored to have been a part of so many special celebrations. Thank you to all of my clients who trusted me to capture and witness such beautiful moments in their lives. I was able to photograph weddings at some new places and check them off of my bucket […]

Emily and James envisioned having an intimate ceremony with a small group of family, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t have a big celebration afterward! They exchanged their vows, complete with happy tears and lots of giggles, on the rooftop of The Pearl in San Francisco. Downstairs, they welcomed their guests with food, drinks and […]

These two adventurous people met 10 years ago on a teaching trip in South America. Since being together, they have survived being lost in a volcano, lived through a massive earthquake and have seen the world! After enduring all of that, planning a wedding was a piece of cake (well, a piece of Kouign-Amann from […]

Lands End is one of my favorite spots in San Francisco. The view is beautiful and the light – perfect! I have shot there many times, and every time I see something new. The recent San Francisco Engagement Session with Emily and James was no exception. They are the sweetest couple, and Lands End was […]

As a photographer you watch light a lot. I am always looking for that good light. There are two time of the day I really love to shoot. It when the sun is lowest in the sky. That happens to be later in the day and the other is early in the morning. When I […]

Kate and Navin’s wedding at Fogarty Winery was perfect. Even when the unexpected wind and fog rolled in, they rolled with it. As the wind whipped and the day got colder and colder, it didn’t stop these two. Surrounded by family and friends, beautiful vineyards and fog, they said yes to each other. As their loved ones […]

  I had been wanting to shoot a Big Sur engagement session for a while, so when Priscilla and Duy said they wanted to do their engagement session in Big Sur, I couldn’t have been more excited. Being a California native, I think Big Sur is the crown jewel of our beautiful California coastline and is […]
