Sarah K Chen Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

If I love doing something, there’s nothing in the world that will stop me from doing it. Case in point: I grew up drawing on the walls of my house, much to the chagrin of my parents, who had to repaint the interior before they could sell it. Though I no longer use crayons to express myself, I still have that passion today for creating beautiful images.

 

I now use a camera to capture what would otherwise be fleeting moments between two people sharing in the excitement of beginning a new life together. There is little else that can evoke such strong emotion and bring back cherished memories as a well-composed photo, and I aim to capture just that with each one I take. I want my images to hold a special place in your heart for years to come.

 

I feel honored to be present at such a significant time in my clients’ lives and hope you’ll invite me to become part of yours, too.

Gia & Matt’s Engagement in San Francisco

A cool, crisp day in the city. Finally! We’d originally planned to shoot Gia and Matt’s engagement session a couple of days after I had driven up North with Ellie, but it rained. Hard. Originally, I thought we’d be able to brave the weather and shoot between sprinkles, but Ha! Spoken like a true Southern California girl who doesn’t know a real rain storm from some sprinkles. So, we rescheduled for the following week, which was supposed to be sunny and clear but it rained yet again! I knew SF weather was unpredictable, but we were starting to wonder if we’d have a nice enough day to shoot! We rescheduled once again and this time we were met with the crisp, cool weather that San Francisco is known for! I was so happy that Gia was able to get her wish!

We started off at the Xanadu Gallery in San Francisco which is the only Frank Lloyd Wright designed building in the city. I loved the clean lines and the light we had in the alley way.

I love this next one of Gia and Matt. Talk about fierce!

I love when my couples aren’t afraid to wear bold colors. Gia’s jewel tones really pop and look amazing with her skin and this gold background.

The look of love. I have a thing for how couples look at each other. There’s always something magical there.

As we wandered the alley we were met by this open air cafe which hadn’t opened just yet. We took full advantage of it and it just oozes European romance doesn’t it?

Gia and Matt found this really cool hotel in the city and we made the most of the dramatic lighting found indoors. Hotness!

I can’t wait for your big day you guys!
