Shan + Matt | Love is Real

September 17, 2010

Just in case you’ve been convinced otherwise, LOVE IS REAL! It is easy to become a cynic with the way the media hypes everything, reading about break-ups in the tabloids and hearing about bad relationships on the talkshows…but I will gladly say that love is real and can still be found. There is nothing more amazing than the connection shared by two people who truly love each other.
Shan and Matt are such people. Their love is palpable, real. You can see it in their photographs but I felt it long before the film was ever developed. I was stoked when Matt asked me about doing a session with them and when it actually materialized I was glad we did it. These two are from Denver, CO and I had a chance to show them around San Francisco, CA a bit while we photographed. Our stops included Cow Hollow, Fort Mason (some of the best views of the bridge) and the Presidio. A special thanks to La Boulange on Union St. (my favorite cafe in the city) for the amazing cafe au lait, macaroons and their kind clients who gave up a nice, picturesque table for us to use. I truly enjoyed myself and I’m happy to share this set with you all. By the way, Matt is an awesome wedding photographer in Denver, CO, check him out. Enjoy.
