Oh my goodness, San Francisco is so stinking photogenic. And you honestly can’t go wrong in picking a location for your engagement photos, but here are a few of my favorites. Below are also some items on my wishlist in case you want new ideas and to make those happen!
I always recommend that my couple’s choose somewhere sentimental or an activity that they love to do together to get y’all in your element and have the most fun. Because honestly, your engagement session should be your version of a perfect afternoon, adventuring around your favorite places and documenting your love story.
Note that these locations are popular for a reason, they’re beautiful and iconic, so I recommend we shoot on a weekday if possible to avoid massive crowds. For more tips, check out my engagement style guide.
