Amanda & Liam Engagement Portraits~ (Wedding Photography)
October 10, 2009A few weeks ago I had an amazing opportunity to travel out to San Francisco to visit with my sister Amanda and her fiance Liam. While there we spent a day visiting some of the most beautiful spots in the city to take their engagement portraits. They are going to be married next September in a quaint location in southwest Michigan- it’s going to be such a gorgeous wedding!
I was SO happy to do this for them, and what a great excuse for a vacation! Aren’t they a gorgeous couple?
The location on the left is “The Irish Bank” a great pub where they met for the first time (on St. Patrick’s Day of course!)

Thank you, Mandy & Liam, for bringing me (& Lydia!) out to see you and to do these for you. I had such an amazing time!

Phillip Allen: Epic! I love how you've woven the city and landscape into the fabric of so many of the images.
