I'm Rico. I photograph couples, engagements, and surprise proposals across the San Francisco Bay Area. We'll find a location, plan around the light, and leave room to be yourselves.

Hi, I'm Rico.
Bring your ideas.
I'll bring my camera.

I photograph people across the San Francisco Bay Area, with an eye for color, light, and the places around us. Bring your ideas or let me help you find a starting point. I'll guide you through the session so you can settle in and enjoy being together.

Let's plan your session

Planning a shoot

Before and after the shoot.

Share your idea, agree on a plan, and enjoy the session. Here's what happens next.

  1. Tell me your idea.

    Share the session you want, a date if you have one, and a little about you. It's fine to still be figuring things out.

  2. Agree on the details.

    We'll confirm availability, location, price, coverage, and delivery timing before you book. For proposals, we'll also coordinate the surprise.

  3. Enjoy being there.

    I'll help with movement and posing, leaving room for the moments in between. Your edited photographs follow in your online gallery.
