San Francisco Engagement: Chloë & Matt

Happy Thursday! Today is a really fun day on the blog because I get to show you a fun California shoot with Chloë & Matt!

Chloë is a friend of a past RTP bride, so I was super elated to get an email from her!  Thanks Baylee. :) Chloë & Matt and I had the best time playing in one of my favorite areas of San Francisco; one that feels like something from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids set.  We shot in the beautiful Presidio with trees larger than life and Chrissy Field, where the Golden Gate Bride makes you feel like an ant.

Matt & Chloë are getting married in Colorado next September, but currently living in the Bay Area where Chloë is a traveling nurse, currently working at Stanford Hospital! Friends, I had such a blast getting to know you, and creating with you!  Thanks for letting me come along side your journey for a bit.  The best is yet to come and I can’t wait to see where live takes you two!

With love & joy,
René

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
