Winter Engagement at Foothills Park | Palo Alto

010319_E+J_Foothills Park Engagement_Buena Lane Photography_99.jpg

Eleanor and Jake spent a lot of time in this park early in the relationship, in fact, Jake proposed on a bench at the top of the hill overlooking the valley and San Francisco. They were excited to celebrate this gorgeous landscape with a photoshoot and wanted lots of Tiny People Big Places photos. We were lucky to have a beautiful winter afternoon and, as the sun dropped behind the trees, plenty of curious deer wandered down for a visit.

San Francisco Bay Area and Destination Weddings + Elopements 2018 | Year in Review

Every year it seems like our clients couldn’t get any cooler, yet every year, they awe us with their creativity, style, and commitment to creating a wedding day that feels just right for them. From tintype portraits in the forest to fireworks over the water, this year held more than we ever could have imagined. We kicked things off with a beautiful winter engagement at Sutro Baths and several lovely City Hall celebrations. Summer took us to Utah, Big Sur, Yosemite, Carmel Valley, Marin, and we welcomed winter with a cozy barn wedding in Maine! Below are highlights, more or less in order.

We can’t wait to see what 2019 has in store. This year’s wish list: Timber Cove, Inverness, Patzcuaro, Mexico, and lots more yurts and windblown cliffs!

100718_B+S_Monterey Engagement_Buena Lane Photography_82.jpg

The Monterey area has always been special to Bianca and Sam, so they decided on an engagement session celebrating the beautiful coastline. Slightly smoky haze from valley fires made for a diffused autumn light and bold sunset.

After seven year of long distance, the pair are back together in the Bay Area and planning a wedding at Stanford, where they met. Their reception at Hidden Villa will include performance by both the bride and groom and blend their Mexican and Philippine heritage. Sam even brought out the guitar for a sneak peek!
