Hayley & Matt's San Francisco engagement session

A couple months ago I had a great time helping out my pal Conner Jay with Hayley & Matt’s San Francisco engagement session. Conner wanted us all to have a fun, relaxed day — we would both shoot some photos, bounce ideas off each other, help out with lighting.
