"It was a nice summer night in the city so I decided to take a walk to Alamo Square to photograph the downtown skyline in the evening light. I was walking towards the top of the hill when I noticed a young couple sharing a moment. The western sky was still glowing from the sunset."

"The city had been experiencing some spectacular late fall skies at sunset. One evening I decided to visit the Sutro Baths to photograph some of this amazing color. As I was walking to my spot, I saw this couple in silhouette, framed against the sun setting over the Pacific with their reflections in the pool behind them."

"These endearing strangers sharing a kiss at dawn discovered what most people don't know – that bustling, busy Dolores Park becomes a quiet haven in the off-hours. In the four years that my husband and I lived across the street, we had many a long conversation about life and love in our peaceful front yard."

"One night I was out for a bike ride with friends and stumbled upon a huge parking lot along the Embarcadero – I think it was pretty close to Red's Java House and the Hi Dive? It was really dark and we were enjoying our flasks and the awesome view of the Bay Bridge when I snapped this pic of a couple sharing a moment."

"City Hall is my favorite indoor space to people watch! It's San Francisco's most popular spot to get hitched, so for many visitors, emotions are running high. On busy days, you can also witness the diversity of the city. It's a bit like being at the DMV, except everyone is dressed up. It's a monumental space (coffered dome ceiling, pillars, impressive staircase) with wonderful diffused sunlight, so there is a softness to the grand architecture. There's certainly a romantic and enduring energy within this building, so it's easy to see why so many people choose to come together here."
