Sunrise Couple Session at The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, CA

A Bay Area Adventure

Imagine driving through San Francisco before the sun rises, the city still quiet. You weave your way through the Marin Headlands and park your car at an overlook. And there, your eyes meet pink skies and rolling fog in the bay. The Golden Gate Bridge is all aglow, your best friend is right beside you, & for a few minutes, life just slows. The hills are covered in coyote brush and sage, bathed in rays of light. Big boats look tiny as they move down the channel & there is nothing to hear other than the wind. You hold each other close & the only thing that matters is just being present. That was what my morning looked like with Chris & Mackenzie. We took our time exploring, talked about Jesus, & talked about why marriage is so incredible. These photos will always hold such a special place in my soul & so will San Fran. Already anticipating the day I can set my feet here again.
