I hate even labeling this, but for the sake of search engines I will. Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transsexual, or Heterosexual — when you take all the labels away and really look at what two people are experiencing, it really is all the same… love.
I love being a part of any love story, any way it’s told… end of story.
I am completely in awe over this little gem of a venue in Half Moon Bay, CA. Long Branch Saloon is amazing. Kevin Palmer the owner of Long Branch Saloon has spent a lifetime creating a little village straight out of a chapter from Little House on the Prairie. With good ol’ western charm its a perfect location for a shabby chic country wedding.
I had so much fun last year capturing Abbie and Robert’s engagement session, see previous blog here: Pumpkin Patch Portraits
It was definitely a prelude into such an amazing wedding day filled with sunflowers, apple pie, smore roasting and some good ol’ fashion sling shotting:)
Abbie made sure to bring in a certain amount of playfulness to a huge amount of elegance and classic country beauty, Well done Abbie and Robert! And congrats to a new chapter ahead!
I love when we can take San Francisco land marks, a couples passion for the city and all that it has to offer and bring it into a fun engagement session. Legion of Honor, Palace of Fine Arts, the San Francisco cable cars are all great spots to capture your love in the city, but if you are a huge sports fan why not use one of the best stadium’s as your backdrop! Go San Francisco Giants!
