Ai-Hua + Donald: Engagement Portraits

When Ai-Hua and Donald first met, they weren’t looking for the “one” but life had a knack for getting in the way of their plans.  And instead of ignoring what they were feeling, they followed their hearts and fell in love.  It was great to capture how much they have fun together during their engagement session in San Francisco.  I’m sure their wedding in a few months will be filled lots fun and laughter as well.  Here are my favorites.

Here’s an example from a recent engagement portrait session up in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.  This also illustrates the importance of hiring the right photographer because the work doesn’t just start and end with the taking of the image.  A good photographer has a vision and knows how to use the tools to make that vision come to life.
