Once you see this view, it isn’t too tough to see why Jen + Bill decided to wake at 4:30 am, grab their pup and a cozy blanket, and head up to Twin Peaks to rise with the sun. Photog Evangeline Lane had been dreaming this one up for awhile—a beautiful sunrise shoot high above the San Francisco lights—and knew it would be just the thing to celebrate the two.
Just a dream… Before they fell in love, Bill + Jen had met before, but the timing wasn’t quite right. Fast-forward two years, when Jen had a dream about Bill and decided to send him a message about it… and as they say, the rest is history!
They didn’t stop for hair, makeup, or much styling, which only added to this intimate, quiet setting and take-your-breath-away scene. Jen says, It was all really just about the sleepy city below us waking up, the beautiful sunrise, nature, and being in love.
Evangeline’s take: We casually wandered around and climbed up one of the peaks to take advantage of the ever-changing colors from the rising of the sun.
Jen + Bill were so happy to get to know Evangeline for this shoot, so they would feel more comfortable when she photographed the wedding. Jen says, We bonded during the engagement shoot which made everything so much easier on our wedding day. We felt so relaxed and just knew that she would capture all of the awesome moments of our special day.
So perfect, Evangeline!
