CRISSY FIELD BEACH

Elopement Wedding Photography on Crissy Field Beach

Crissy Field is a beautiful area for wedding and engagement photos. The East Beach is the perfect size for small weddings on the sand and features dramatic views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Nearby, large grassy fields and landscaping make lovely backdrops for wedding photography. The area is easy to walk to and has free parking and restrooms.

BAKER BEACH

Baker Beach Engagement Photography

Arguably, San Francisco's most famous beach is known for its stretch of deep white sand and an unparalleled view of the Gooden Gate Bridge. There is plenty of parking, and it's a short walk to the main attraction. The groves of cypress trees make a nice addition to your photography portfolio. This location is excellent for proposals and elopement weddings. Avoid weekends and holidays, as it will be too crowded for good photography.

MARSHALL BEACH

This stunningly beautiful little beach is a 1.2-mile walk from the cliff top downhill to the sand and blue waves. It's best visited at low tide when you can access the full beach beyond the beautiful, significant rock formations that divide it. It's an excellent choice for proposals, weddings, and engagement photography. Sunsets are very nice here. High cliffs back this beach, so avoid high tide.
