Jon proposed at Disneyland which is pretty much straight out of one of my diaries from middle school and don’t let the fact that that is a twelve-year-old Caili fantasy deceive you because that is the best thing of all time. Hence the Micky and Minnie Mouse ears with the date of their proposal <3 […]

Jon & Stephanie’s Engagement Photos at Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland

This beautiful girl recently got back from spending a month in New York City, London, Paris, Venice and Milan modeling. This stud is a football player for BYU. So obviously they’re a total power couple and pretty tall lol. If there was a picture of the three of us together, I would look incredibly little […]

Kira & Moroni’s Spring Engagement Session at the Utah State Capitol

These two are the actual definition of couple goals. “Okay, Caili,” you say, “That kinda goes without saying. Just look at them!” But that doesn’t even begin to cover it. First of all, this photoshoot was a present to Kirstin from William for Valentine’s Day. Major brownie points to William right there! Next, we shot […]

William & Kirstin’s Engagement at Mission Dolores Park, San Francisco

The best way I can think of to describe Melissa and Scott is “chill.” For example… Melissa had originally told me, “I love… how you capture light” and I was so excited to give her the glowy result I also love. However, it has been raining lots recently in the Bay, so I sent inspiration […]

At home engagement photos San Francisco

I was pretty dang excited when Clarissa said that she liked lifestyle at-home couple photos. We did some research for inspirational shoots online and she wasn’t feeling most at-home photoshoots of cookie baking and pillow fights that the internet suggested. She wanted something more casual and realistic. I was 100% willing to oblige. Nonetheless, I […]

Urban Salt Lake City Engagement Photography Caili Chung

I can’t imagine a better fall couple photoshoot than one that features orange leaves, sweaters, and gigantic boots. Thank you, Vicki and Kevin, for being so absolutely fabulous during this November morning. They were so much fun to shoot that their one hour shoot accidentally turned into two hours without anyone noticing. I would do […]

Vicki & Kevin’s Fall Engagements at Utah State Capital & Memory Grove

This is my first engagement shoot. In advance, I sent my couple an “Engagement Style Guide” beforehand. It’s a giant PDF with pictures and text describing what clothing photographs the best and inspiration on how to style your engagement photos. I wasn’t positive how it would be received, but when I first saw my couple, […]

Lands End SF Engagement Caili Chung Photography

One of the first things that Katie tells me is that they, as I might assume, have never been engaged before. They don’t know how to take engagement photos and hopefully I will be able to give them lots of direction! I probably responded in a somewhat more professional way, but in my head I […]
