The best way to describe Jane and David is a power couple. They’re from New York. They both work in finance. They’re clearly beautiful. Jane met David when she was intern and he was a manager (though not hers). Despite denying being interested in each other to their coworkers, they eventually started dating. Four years […]

Treasure Island SF Engagement Session Caili Chung Photography

This engagement shoot reminds me of the 20th Century. Just everything is so classy and timeless. From Ingrid’s pumps and curly hair to Marcos’s car— just EVERYTHING. And Ingrid and Marcos are absolutely wonderful. They make each other laugh so much. You get the best view of the San Francisco skyline from Treasure island, but […]

Muir Beach SF Engagement Caili Chung Photography

If you’ve met Karl and Brittany and you don’t love them, you’re lying. Karl and Brittany are both individually so genuine and funny and kind, so them together is kind of perfect. They were the ones in front of the camera, but their energy was so contagious that my cheeks were sore from smiling. It […]

When I first talked to Courtney, she told me that Alan can make things you might not think interesting, super interesting. For instance, she said, Alan loves trains and when he talks about them, he makes transportation intriguing. Alan works in transportation in San Francisco, and his passion for his work is apparent. He told […]

Jen and Allison met at Cal Poly. Jen didn’t remember the first time they met, but Allison did. Jen (obviously) made a stunning first impression, and Allison was impressed by how confident and “cool” she seemed. Allison claims she was not a confident person at the time, but she took a risk and talked to […]

I really got a chance to get to know Jason and Melissa better during a long car ride together. I learned about how amazing Colombian food is, the sports Melissa played growing up, and their close families. Melissa and Jason are both funny and kind and attentive and perfect travel companions. We were allowed the […]

Ingrid and Josue are the champions of making anything a good time. We started out at the Martinez Marina, but soon afterward dark, grey cloud started rolling in, and we ran for cover. We decided to go on a short drive into the city for more building cover. The sky was still grey, but Ingrid […]
