COUPLES SESSIONS

Every couple has a place that feels like theirs. The corner where you first held hands, the trail you hiked on an early date, the bench where you laughed too hard about something dumb.

We love a couples or engagement shoot that's tied to somewhere meaningful, and the galleries below showcase our sessions all across the Bay Area and beyond: the lantern-lit alleys of Chinatown, the rugged coastline of the Marin Headlands, the spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge from Crissy Field, the gardens at Filoli, the cafés and rooftops of North Beach, and the bluffs above Half Moon Bay.

Scroll through to see what's possible. If a spot you love isn't here yet, let's go shoot it.

A city street scene with a couple holding hands crossing a crosswalk during daytime. The man is dressed in a suit, and the woman is wearing a white dress and high heels, holding a bouquet of flowers. There are various vehicles on the street, including a bus, cars, and trucks, with tall modern skyscrapers in the background.

NORTH BEACH
Josephine & Luke

“We hired Mario and Lina for an engagement photoshoot in Chinatown and our SF City Hall civil ceremony. They were meticulous on both shoots and willing to go above and beyond with their time for us. I'm blown away — we absolutely love the photos and would 100% hire them again.”
