Tony Bennett may have left his heart in San Francisco, but Vanessa and Daniel are here to stay. This California couple took advantage of some of the city’s best backdrops for their recent engagement photography session -- including the Legion of Honor and Baker Beach with beautiful views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Follow along to see how their sweetheart session unfolds!

We love these soft and airy outdoor portraits of Vanessa and her future hubby Daniel! The couple took advantage of the natural light close to the golden hour, which creates for stunning images. As the sunset approaches, the light will create a hazy glowing effect -- the perfect atmosphere for an engagement photography session!

Vanessa and Daniel chose a mixture of formal attire with a playful vibe. The bride-to-be opted for a flowy pastel number before changing into a vibrant red cocktail dress for the second half of their portraits. A sharp black suit compliments both dress choices perfectly, resulting in a truly stylish session! 

It’s important to consider the time of day when planning your outdoor engagement session. To avoid crowds at your favorite locations, we recommend an early morning or weekday session. We love these images of Vanessa and Daniel -- they were able to have the place all to themselves!
