I love this engagement session so much. Em The Gem just captured all of the love of this gorgeous couple, our beautiful state (and why I moved to the Bay Area over six years ago), perfectly. Hop on over to Style Me Pretty to see the whole feature, below are some of my favorites!

Kristarae and Felix were having a San Francisco City Hall wedding, so an engagement session was the perfect way to be able to capture their invitation suite (by Wedding Paper Divas with custom calligraphy by Aubriana at The Bloomery Co), local San Francisco scenery and beautiful moments together shortly before they will be husband and wife.

I said this in the feature, but as I got the images back (and even in person as I was watching K & F), I kept thinking how this is the San Francisco that Alfred Hitchcock was so enamored with and had to include in his films.

How can you not feel that San Francisco is just completely enchanting when you see images like these? It doesn’t hurt that the gown I found for Kristarae fit her as though it was custom made for her and that she shines so beautifully in it!
