We had an awesome engagement session with Elsa and Tim while we were in San Francisco. Elsa wanted something urban. So we met them in North Beach, one of my favorite parts of town, and toured all the best sites and even ventured a bit into the financial district.

Elsa comes to the city everyday for work, but Tim doesn’t get to spend much time in San Francisco so it was doubly fun to share this with them. We started off at Washington Square. It was a beautiful evening and the park was packed with dogs and their people. We still managed to sneak a few quiet moments.

We then headed closer to downtown and grabbed a few by the City Lights Bookstore at Jack Kerouac Alley. This is such a colorful and fun San Francisco lane- no cars but lots of people and lots of San Francisco history.

From this tourist spot, we dove into a quieter part of the city. Dave and I had been to this little Polish cafe and were totally enamored with its great ambiance. It was also a chance for Elsa and Tim to enjoy a drink and relax a bit.

We took a few more around the corner at this brilliant red wall.

This is actually right next to the red wall. We got a totally different feel just by looking in the other direction!

As the sun began to set, Dave captured this silhouette with the lights of Broadway beginning to brighten up around Elsa and Tim.

Thank you to Elsa and Tim for trekking around SF with us. We had such a great time and you two were awesome. I am so sorry we couldn’t join you guys for dinner; I hope it was amazing. Definitely keep sharing tips of your favorite eats around the Bay.
