Is there any more appropriate time for a Golden Gate Park engagement session than golden hour? Becky and Walter were great sports during their shoot - we initially planned to take pictures inside the Japanese Tea Gardens, and when we were thwarted by an early closing time, they were totally game to switch things up a bit. The pictures we snapped outside the iconic park weren't what we had originally planned, but I think they turned out even better. We even found a fairy door while wandering through a secluded eucalyptus grove. There's a lesson in there somewhere about best-laid-plans and going with the flow, I think - especially when it comes to weddings!

After we finished at the park, we hustled over to Baker Beach to capture some sunset images. These are probably my favorites from the whole set - and really, how can you not love a couple who are willing to kick their shoes off and get in that cold San Francisco Bay water for a good photo? Congratulations on your engagement, Becky and Walter! We can't wait to shoot your wedding day in January.
