Pete and I met when we both were DJs at our college radio station and bonded over music and media. When I moved to San Francisco a few years ago, Pete was the only person I knew here besides Ben. On my first New Year’s Eve in the city, Pete invited us to a party, where, much later in the evening, I walked by the kitchen and saw him kissing an adorable curly-haired girl. The next day I asked him, “So who was that girl?” He replied that it was pretty new, and that that was the first time they’d kissed.
A couple of years and a few more kisses later, they are now engaged. Ben and I got the chance to shoot these engagement photos of Pete and Esme recently as part of a private workshop. We started at their San Francisco apartment – their first home together – and continued into the streets of our favorite city.
