Berkeley Stanford Big Game Engagement Session with Andrea & Mark

I’ve done engagement sessions around the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve even done a few on the Berkeley campus, and the Stanford campus. This was the time to let it all hang out and try something totally different. Why not do a photo shoot amidst 80,000 screaming people? Why not watch my alma matter get humiliated? Why not work when it doesn’t really feel like working?

I’ll be doing Mark and Andrea’s wedding this coming summer in Lake Tahoe. As a Stanford/Berkeley couple, they’ve had a long (but friendly) rivalry going, and a tradition of going to the Big Game together. For this fun-loving couple we skipped a trip to the rolling hills of Tilden Park or the streets of San Francisco and headed straight into the action: The Big Game. With the blowout well underway by the second half, we had ample opportunity to run around for a few photos, grab some nachos and lemonade, and just have an all around fantastic time.

Here are some photos from Mark and Andrea’s engagement session at Berkeley’s Big Game!

Most of the day went about like this…

It’s really hard to describe the energy of that many fans in one place. At least as a Stanford and a Berkeley grad I had ample cause to root for the winning team.

And the final score? Cal: 37 Stanford: 16.

wow cool shots. interesting to do an engagement session at a game. images turned out great. must have been scary for mark to be the only one wearing red in a sea of blue.

these turned out great! (phew, what a relief) i’d like to thank the 79,950 fans for cooperating, and noah (and nancy) for cropping the other 50 angry cal fans who were yelling at mark to sit down and scram. haha, sweet victory :o )

Look great Noah. Now if we can just Photoshop the scoreboard in that final picture…
