We are thrilled to show you Nicole & Kendrick’s Palace of Fine Arts Engagement session! There’s just something different about the Palace of Fine Arts: the way its grand architecture meets the calm water, the soft glow that wraps the arches as the sun dips, and how it all creates a dreamy backdrop for love stories like Nicole and Kendrick’s. As San Francisco wedding photographers, we can’t help but fall in love with photographing here; the light, the reflections, and the romantic air all come together like magic.
Nicole and Kendrick’s engagement session felt like a full-circle moment. Their story began in college at San Francisco State University, where long days at the “Vista Room” slowly turned into long talks and growing affection. And now, years later, they returned to the very place where they shared their first kiss, the Palace of Fine Arts to celebrate how far they’ve come.
Dressed casually in jeans and matching tops, they looked effortlessly in sync as we captured them walking by the shimmering water, sharing soft smiles under the towering rotunda, and wrapped in each other’s arms near the greenery. Every frame reflected their easy connection and the romantic charm of the venue, where every archway, every reflection, seems to tell its own love story.
Whether you choose the Palace of Fine Arts or another beautiful engagement spot in San Francisco, our focus remains the same: to celebrate your love, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and create stunning photos that last a lifetime.
