Greta and Andrew were searching for the perfect spot for their San Francisco engagement photos, and La Connessa blew our expectations out of the water. Greta and Andrew chose this moody, classy bar in the heart of SF for part of their shoot—and honestly, it felt more like I was hanging out with two friends than doing an engagement photo session with new acquaintances. We had actually started at the beach right before we went to the bar. At both locations, these two were all laughter, and capturing real love is always the best part of shoots.
La Connessa is one of their go-to spot for date nights, so it made perfect sense to shoot there. The bar itself is dark and moody, so we leaned into editorial, paparazzi vibes for the engagement photos. The staff was so welcoming (shoutout to them for giving us a whole corner of the restaurant to ourselves!) and the vibe stayed effortlessly relaxed, making it easy for Greta and Andrew to just be themselves.
One of my favorite parts about doing these San Francisco engagement photos was the real chemistry between the two. From the first frame, Greta and Andrew were laughing, joking, and totally in sync—it was magic, with the editorial, posed shots and the spontaneous candid moments.
The mixture of indoor ambiance and soft ambient light gave the gallery so much variety and depth. Whether you’re looking for something elevated or romantic, La Connessa brings both. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat to any couple wanting something unique for their San Francisco engagement photos.
This session reminded me how fun and personal engagement photos can be when couples choose a space that holds meaning to them. Greta and Andrew made this one to remember.
