Since I started my business I have increasingly learned the importance of putting yourself out there so that potential clients can see who they are working with. After all, you should like your photographer because they are with you A LOT on one of your most special days! It’s also very important to feel comfortable with your photographer.

I didn’t meet Mami and Neil until this shoot. We had only exchanged email’s back and forth. I believe that by putting myself out there, they got a chance to get to know me a little bit and see my work. By the time we met in person, it was like we already knew each other!

Mami and Neil met in Japan before making the move back to San Francisco. For their pre-wedding shoot they both kept it classy. Mami donned a white dress and Neil wore a suit with no tie to give it a more relaxed feel. He did change into a bowtie later for the beach portion which was fun. I had a great day in San Francisco with these two and can’t wait to share more from their wedding day in Napa! Pre-Wedding Photo Shoot in San Francisco

Update: Mami + Neil’s wedding was featured on Carats and Cake
