Lina and Rob are transplanted New Yorkers still getting used to life in California. They made a step in the right direction when they purchased a beautiful apartment in downtown San Francisco as their first home together. We suggested starting their engagement pictures there, and were thrilled to discover, upon walking in for the first time, the huge windows – big enough to stand up in – overlooking the street.

After exploring every inch of their pretty apartment, we took our shoot out into the streets of their neighborhood and on to the UCSF campus, where Rob proposed to Lina with a very elaborate scavenger hunt.

We’ll be heading to the town of New Marlborough, Massachusetts, next month to photograph their wedding at Gedney Farm. We’ll tell you more about these two in their wedding post. With her family being from Russia and his from Pennsylvania, and everyone coming together for a weekend-long party, I’m thinking we might have a few good stories to share.

Pete and I met when we both were DJs at our college radio station and bonded over music and media. When I moved to San Francisco a few years ago, Pete was the only person I knew here besides Ben. On my first New Year’s Eve in the city, Pete invited us to a party, where, much later in the evening, I walked by the kitchen and saw him kissing an adorable curly-haired girl. The next day I asked him, “So who was that girl?” He replied that it was pretty new, and that that was the first time they’d kissed.

A couple of years and a few more kisses later, they are now engaged. Ben and I got the chance to shoot these engagement photos of Pete and Esme recently as part of a private workshop. We started at their San Francisco apartment – their first home together – and continued into the streets of our favorite city.
