(Scott Maddern Photography) — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 18:31:50 GMT

As a longtime resident of Walnut Creek, this was a super fun experience for me to shoot an engagement session in my home city. For those unfamiliar with downtown Walnut Creek, there are a ton of unique and romantic locations for an engagement session like this. Very grateful that Whitney and Sherwin gave me this opportunity to put this session together.

Golden Gate San Francisco Engagement Session

This was such a fun session for me! Not only were Simon and Kelly an adorable, energetic couple, but San Francisco is also my favorite city to shoot an engagement session. There are so many great spots for photos in SF: downtown, the Golden Gate Bridge, Palace of Fine Arts, etc. We couldn't decide on just one or two spots so we went all over the city to create this perfect engagement session.

This was a really fun and unique wedding for me. The wedding was in Nicasio, CA, so we got deep into the countryside for some great natural scenery. The wedding had a simple, rustic feel to it which translated great for photography, especially with the natural and historic landscape.

This was a fun one! Spent this whole day with Jason and Iveeth. We went to both Joaquin Miller Park and Redwood Regional Park in Oakland to get some beautiful shots. My favorite thing about this session might be their outfits, which they chose to mimic the feel of the movie "The Notebook."
