San Francisco Bay Area Engagement Photography – Rock’n Robs Ice Cream Parlor – Pacifica, CA – Jai and Kiran
July 21st, 2009
Hey Everyone:
During our road trip up to the San Francisco Bay Area, we were able to do a couple of engagement shoots, a few client meetings, and a military wedding. Talk about a busy and productive weekend. This wonderful couple, Jai and Kiran gave us the opportunity to shoot a new location, the beautiful Pacifica State Beach, in Pacifica, CA. Our first stop was Rock’n Robs (Rock and Robs) Ice Cream Parlor. Congrats on the engagement! We hope you enjoy the images.

Fighting reflections the whole time, we managed to utilize the unique, cafe-type feel of the Ice Cream Parlor in Pacifica, CA

Of course, save-the-date cards are important to create!

Here’s the address of Rock’n Rob’s Ice Cream Parlor: 450 Dondee St # 1, Pacifica, CA – (650) 359-3663

San Francisco Bay Area Engagement Photography – Pacifica State Beach (Surrounding Area) – Jai and Kiran
July 21st, 2009
After the Rock’n Robs Ice Cream engagement session, we moved to a forested area around Pacifica State Beach in the San Francisco Bay Area. Here, we found beautiful trees, landscapes, and fields.

It wouldn’t be a Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography engagement session in a field if we didn’t have our couple get down and into the brush. The Pacifica State Beach field was perfect, with soft, golden blades.

The beautiful golden blades made a perfect foreground for our shots at the Pacifica State Beach.

These two symmetrical trees overlooking the Pacific Ocean were just screaming to be photographed

San Francisco Bay Area Engagement Photography – Pacifica State Beach – Jai and Kiran
July 21st, 2009
After hanging out in a few miles away from the Pacifica State Beach, we moved down to Pacific Beach for come nice beach and night shots. Having previously only visited Ocean Beach in the San Francisco Bay Area, we were amazed by the beauty of the Pacifica State Beach.

The sun set quickly on us, so we decided to play with the lighting and shadows.

Playing with the lighting, we decided to create shadows, subtly illumination the Pacifica State Beach sand and water.

If you wanted to visit Pacific Beach, here’s an approximate address: 5200 Coast Hwy, Pacifica, CA (San Francisco Bay Area)
