M + B: Surprise Proposal in Napa Valley at Domaine Carneros Winery

Bowerbird Photography January 3, 2014

There is no better way to start off the New Year than to ask the love of your life to be your wife :) We have been holding on to this secret for several weeks now, but we can finally share this story with you all. Under a brilliant blue sky, B proposed to his girlfriend M on the steps of the gorgeous Domaine Carneros Winery in Napa Valley. We stayed incognito, studying a bird manual, while following behind them and toting huge zoom lenses. Of course, we would pose as birders ;)

We are so happy for them both! Congratulations love birds!!

Nicole + Anthony: Engagement Photo Session at AT&T Park and Twin Peaks

Bowerbird Photography December 21, 2013

San Franciscans are crazy about baseball. And Nicole + Anthony are what you might call authentic Giants fans! So how perfect was it that we got to spend a day at the AT&T ballpark with them last Sunday, to photograph their love of the game and each other. It was perfectly romantic and totally San Francisco!

Nicole + Anthony are a gorgeous pair and we loved that they could get gushy together, and ham it up, with true Giants fan flavor! After the stadium, we headed to Twin Peaks, where they had their first date, for some classic views of the Bay Area. An excellent ending to a splendid afternoon :) We are so happy for these two love birds!

Renae + Mason: San Francisco Engagement Photo Session in Golden Gate Park & Baker Beach

Bowerbird Photography December 11, 2013

From their brilliantly warm smiles, you could never tell that these photos were taken during the cold arctic spell we recently had in San Francisco. Love can keep you warm, and that is exactly the case when it comes to Renae + Mason.

We had the best time running through Golden Gate Park, seeking out every possible sunny spot to soak in the rays. The shade also provided romantic photo ops, as Mason would wrap his arms around Renae to keep her warm.

After their little hike in the park, the couple headed to Baker Beach. The skies were crystal clear, providing the blue wash to contrast the red outline of the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.

Renae + Mason are such a sweet couple, and always ready to have some fun. There was a lot of laughing throughout the whole photo session - the kind of spirit to keep you warm even on the coldest winter day.

Enjoy this peek at Renae + Mason's engagement session in San Francisco. Congrats love birds!

Jenny + Eric: San Francisco Engagement Photo Session

Bowerbird Photography November 26, 2013

It's official: we have a winner for the best outfit of the year at an engagement photo session. Jenny -- your skirt tops them all! And once we got the story behind the skirt, it made it even better :) Jenny's sister wore it on her engagement session in Texas, but with a totally different spin, out in nature. For Jenny + Eric's engagement photo session, we hit the pavement and went for a fun urban look, utilizing everything San Francisco has to offer, from the bright purple door of a classic Victorian house to a cascade of stairs at a local park.

Jenny + Eric are totally adorable together and were wonderful to photograph, especially since they seem to have an endless supply of contagious giggles! Gotta love these two!

Enjoy this peek into their totally glam (and just enough goofy!) engagement photo session!
