San Francisco Engagement Session – Katie and Brendon

Last weekend I drove to San Francisco with my good friend Fenton and his fiance Katie to shoot their engagement session. It rained all week in California so we didn’t know what type of weather to expect in the city as usual. However, we had an awesome day with bits of rain and clouds here and there which added to the mood.

I’ve known Fenton for 10 years now. We played baseball together in Kentucky at Brea College. We also did two road trips in college, one of which was 8229.6 miles door to door from my house in Kentucky. We drove a loop around the country going I-40 straight to Las Vegas then Death Valley, Sequoias, Yosemite, San Francisco, down the coast, LA, San Diego, Mexico, Yuma for the Super Bowl, White Sands, San Antonio, New Orleans, Nashville and home again. Gone 30 days on the road! We stayed with everyone we knew in the areas, sleeping on floors and couches. We also camped and even slept in the car several times.

Here are some photos of me, Fenton and Lucian from the road trip. Then some from the engagement session in Frisco.

I just had to post this one of Lucian brown bagging the Anchor Steam and talking to the street guy.

Me on the tracks up the coast. A head shot of my brother-in-law Michael Hedden outside his college apartment.

Us with Hector before heading down to Mexicali for the night.

We started at the Palace of Fine Art where it was still raining on and off. I saw a couple bride and grooms too.

We had an awesome day after the rain. Here we are down at Chrissy Field by Persido.

Of course Baker Beach is always good…

I had to mix in a “Shot” at my favorite liquor store.

Before leaving town we hit up Buena Vista by Ghirardelli Square for the original American Irish Coffee. It was strong but amazing!
