    Still haven't figured it out, but it'll be in San Francisco somewhere.  I have to decide soon as my engagement photo shoot is in about a month!

    Since we're east bayers, we took some on BART and at the Berkeley Marina.

    I've had friends who took pictures down on Baker beach...it's a great little secluded spot and the GG is in the background so you get that SF feel. But really anywhere around the city would be beautiful. 

    I saw somewhere on this site a couple who took pictures in NYC, their photographer acted like paparazzi, just taking pictures of them walking around, buy hot dogs etc. This would be a very cute idea in any city!

    We did 2 sets of pictures. There is a beautiful garden in Walnut Creek. The Gardens at Heather Farm --  http://gardenshf.org/ You are required to pay $25 for a permit and you have to have a certian date and time, but it's worth it. The place is beautiful!

    Our second session was on Baker Beach in SF and Crissy Field. We took some great pictures and my photographer is a god at his art.

    We took some in a park on the hill above our house that has a tree swing, then went to Stow Lake in GG park. Then we went to the Queen Wilhelmina Garden/Dutch Windmill and finally ended up at the Legion of Honor museum. We had a blast and I'm still waiting to see the pictures. It's been 3 weeks and I'm starting to go crazy!

    Heh.

    We took ours at the beach in front of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.  The pictures came out really well with the boardwalk in the background.  We also got some under the pier too.

    We had ours done at Lake Chabot Park in Hayward.
    It was free all around and there are several different types of shots available there.
    It's pretty and it wasn't crowded when we went, which was nice.
