Are you looking for the best engagement photo locations in San Francisco? Over the years I have enjoyed photographing engagement sessions and weddings here in San Francisco. It would be my pleasure to help you with your engagement session and to offer suggestions for the engagement photo locations in San Francisco.
I recommend having your engagement session on a weekday to avoid crowds as these locations are very popular.

Crissy Field has an amazing view of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. In addition to the view of the bridge, Crissy Field offers a wonderful view of the San Francisco skyline. There is also a beach area if you are adventurous and want beach photos with a view of the bridge. This is a really popular location and it is best to come here on weekdays.
