Here is a preview of today’s engagement portrait session. We had a lovely morning session in the Berkeley Rose Garden. Brenna and Andrew told me once we wrapped things up that they were heading over to the Grand Lake Theater to buy tickets for the highly anticipated premiere showing of Harry Potter. The Grand Lake being both my husband and my favorite landmarks in Oakland (we always attend their matinees) is a special place. My husband remembers seeing ET and Star Wars there with his father as a child. Well, seeing as Brenna is also an Oakland native, I knew that I had to get some shots of them outside with the marquee and peeling paint the the Grand Lake is locally famous for. I have a feeling that years from now when their grandchildren are looking at that photo, Harry Potter will be as classic to them as Breakfast at Tiffany’s was for me. Enjoy this sneak peek and thank you for a beautiful morning- there’s nothing like love and roses.
