Carolyn and I go back to grad school days in Boston, where her tenacity, boldness, and confidence made her unforgettable. Getting to photograph her engagement session with Brandon felt like a full-circle moment. We explored three iconic San Francisco locations—the timeless elegance of City Hall with its soaring arched windows, the moody coastal beauty of Sutro Baths where Carolyn's chartreuse blazer popped against wildflowers and fog, and the vibrant energy of Chinatown with its red lanterns and bustling streets. Their impeccable style, those dramatic coral and red bouquets, and the genuine connection between them made every frame special. Watching someone I admired in grad school now sharing these moments with her partner reminded me why I love this work.
