We first met Cassie and Daryl over happy hour drinks and snacks, so we had an idea that they would be our kind of people. We weren’t wrong, and we were glad to find a loving couple who were both backed up by friends and family who loved them and loved them for each other. Though it happens time and again, we’re always so thankful when meeting up with clients feels like meeting up with old friends; this was one of those instances.

Getting to know Cassie and Daryl, you get the sense that people just like being around them. We would easily bounce back and forth between talking about practical wedding photography issues to talking about their friends, families, and experiences. There was an obvious strength about them that no doubt came from the support of all those close to them. Learning about them, it came as no surprise that Daryl proposed at a gathering of those dear to them; rightfully so, we think, because the love between them couldn’t possibly be contained between just two people.

We loved their style and daring with this session; they wanted to do something a little outside the normal and trusted us completely, and the results were wonderful. Though you might be hard pressed to detect it, they had to put on some brave faces to deal with the sunny but “crisp” evening we shot. We shot at Fort Point, moved onto Battery Godfrey and ended a stint at Ghirardelli Square, the site of their first date. We had a great time with them on this engagement session, and are looking forward to their wedding this summer!
