Ari's Bday Celebration on Muir Beach

Bowerbird Photography June 24, 2014

On Sunday evening, we met with one of our favorite people, Ari, to celebrate his birthday on Muir Beach. After we photographed a wedding on Saturday in Sonoma, it was wonderful to relax with friends the next day. The wind and sand were mighty powerful, but that didn't stop us from roasting s'mores and eating delicious tacos at sunset. Here's a peek into our fun evening with dear friends :)

Sung + Peter: San Francisco Engagement Photo Session at Baker Beach, Alamo Square + Hayes Valley

Bowerbird Photography June 12, 2014

Sung + Peter grew up together in Oregon, but it wasn't until more recently that they realized that they were more than just friends :) Next month they are getting married near Portland, but first they wanted to celebrate their engagement, with a photo session in San Francisco.

We met them on a classic SF summer day -- foggy, sunny, windy -- perfect weather for a romantic day in The City. We started at Baker Beach, for a deep breath of salty ocean air, before heading over to Alamo Square, for some classic city vista shots. As our photo adventure continued, Sung + Peter decided it was time for a tasty treat, so we headed to Smitten Ice Cream, for a few scoops of made-to-order ice cream and ended our afternoon together at La Boulange Bakery, for coffee and croissants.

Sung + Peter are such sweethearts and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful couple to hang out with :) Congratulations on your engagement Sung + Peter!!
