Swanky cool engagement photographs with Dessiree and Brandon

I had a great time photographing Dessiree and Brandon around the classic Balboa theater in Outer Richmond district of San Francisco. Not only did the Balboa and the surrounding area offer a plethora of interesting areas for photographs but we were also doubly blessed by what ever deities reign over the movie releases. What better billing could you ask for as a back drop for an engagement session than Sex in City 2, Babies and Robin Hood? Desiree and Brandon were just so swanky and cool that we found place and place for fun photos. And then, just as we were finishing at the Balboa, the sun popped through the clouds so we rushed over to the Land’s End Labyrinth. If you haven’t been there, you should definitely make a trip. Perched on a bluff along the coastal trail, the Labyrinth will make you scratch your head and ask “how did it get here?” and “why did it get here?” The entire area at sunset made for more great pictures and I think really highlited another side of Desiree and Brandon.

Thanks Dessiree and Brandon for showing me these two great areas. I wish you the very best of luck with the wedding plans and hope you enjoy the photos.

Suzanne and Matt at Sutro Baths

I can only imagine their conversation on the way to meet me.

Suzanne – “I have a surprise for you”
Matt – “Cool”
Suzanne – “You’re going to like it”
Matt – “Great” (now getting worried)
Suzanne – “we are going to San Francisco to get photo’s taken of us”
Matt – [silence]
Suzanne – “It’s going to be great. We are meeting at Sutro Baths by the Cliff House.”
Matt – [silence]
Suzanne – “What do you think?”
Matt – [pause]…”Yeah. That’s not really me”

Long pause as both try to figure out what is going to happen next.

But of course, Matt, like many people who are nervous about photo shoots, ended up having a good time. He wasn’t jumping up and down at the end but he definitely was hamming it up a bit. Suzanne was great of course and they ended up with some nice photos.

Suzanne and Matt – Good luck to both of you with your endeavors and hope you like the photos.
