Photos by Christine Chen

a so we needed to find a local photographer for engagement photos. We spent a very hot saturday afternoon with Christine walking around Golden Gate Park and Ocean beach but we still had an amazing time. She is so easy to work with and she captures a lot of candid shots which is what my husband and I love the best. We used one of the photos for our save the date and we received so many compliments about the photo. I hope to be able to use her again for some baby photos one day!

worked with us before the shoot to talk about where we wanted the photos taken, what type of styles we liked and offered to share a Pinterest board with me so I could share what I was looking for. You could tell she really wanted the experience to be personal and really be all about you as a couple instead of a generic engagement shoot. She also had lots of great advice and was very professional, checking in with us leading up to the date and giving us ideas for what to bring/ clothes to wear etc. The day of the shoot she was right one time/early and ready to go to for our shoot. I was a little nervous, I am not naturally someone who likes having their photo taken, but Christine put me right at ease. Her personality really made the experience fun and natural, which I think is really important because it shows in the pictures. After the shoot, she followed up quickly to check in and show us a few preview shots, we were so excited, usually it takes weeks! She followed up soon after with our entire edited album and they could not have turned out better. Her website was easy to use and we were excited to start using the photos on our Save-the-dates etc. There were so many great photo's it was hard to choose just one! She is an amazing photographer and a true professional, who clearly has an eye for light and finding amazing, personal shots. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a top end photographer.
