One of my very favorite things about living in San Francisco is how full of surprises the city is. From amazing coffee shops to vibrant street art and swoonworthy architecture, there always seems to be something new around ever corner. When we stumbled upon this in your face bougainvillea when walking back from grabbing our pre-shoot coffee, we instantly knew we had found the perfect spot to shoot and I’ve gotta say, these photo are some of my favorites ever.

I’m also smitten with this French Connection embroidered babydoll dress – it’s one of those pieces you just know you’re going to love as soon as you open the box with your online order. The detail is really beautiful while the babydoll silhouette keeps the dress feeling really fun and adds a bit of a 70’s vibe to the look. Paired with a simple pair of heels and a clutch, the dress is the perfect option for a casual summer wedding or date night.
