Aine and James: Golden Gate Park Engagement Session

Happy 2012. Here’s my first engagement post of the year. It’s a little late coming due to the release of my travel video, but here we are. Over the holidays, Aine and James flew into San Francisco from New York where they had just relocated to from London. Still following? We got together the day after the Christmas and shot their engagement session in Golden Gate Park. No matter how many times I shoot there, there never seems to be a shortage of new places to explore. This time, I chose the track field for its weather-worn benches that just seems so timeless. Here’s their story. They first met back in Ireland when they both posed for a very “embarrassing” clothing manufacturer catalog shoot. I asked if they wanted to recreate the shoot. The response was an emphatic “No!” I guess some things are better left to history. Side note: The clothing company has since gone out of business. Years after the shoot, they connected again and have since never looked back. I can’t wait to capture their big day in April.
