Janette and Chris both have roots in Livermore, but never crossed paths growing up. They decided it would be the perfect spot for their engagement photos, and we had a great evening exploring bits of downtown and a couple neighboring Vineyards. They will get married this coming September at Deer Ridge Vineyards.

I have so many images to share from recent weddings and engagement shoots! While I work on them, enjoy this sneak peek from Lindsay and Franks engagement session. Their wedding is coming up on the 4th of July  at Mission Santa Clara. Can’t wait!

It has been a lot of fun editing the photos from the engagement session of Sara and Jason in the Marin Headlands. I adore these two and am really looking forward to their June wedding at Landmark Vineyards in Kenwood. Sara and Jason- thank you for a great afternoon and for breaking in my new camera! You both really rocked it!

I loved all the laughter these two share.

You can’t tell from this photo, but it was freezing! Sara, you were a trooper in that dress!

The lighthouse in the distance was the site of one of Sara and Jason’s first dates. Jason is quite the cyclist and often bikes in Marin- I love when couples pick locations that are not only beautiful, but have special meaning to the couple as well. It makes the photographs that much more meaningful.

OK, these next few shots are some of my most favorite engagement shots ever. The colors are intense and Sara and Jason brought style and presence to the shots. LOVE THEM!

I normally don’t post vertical shots alone on the blog just for formatting reasons, but this next shot deserved it’s own space. Can you say supermodel?

The refurbished military buildings made for a great backdrop- and it was incredible to see a launching pad down the hill from here.

Jason chose the most beautiful ring for his beloved.

I love these shots. Love. Them.

Sara and Jason, thank you again for a fantastic session. See you in a few short weeks!

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day yesterday at Cliff Lede Vineyard in Yountville. Here is a sneak peek from my session with Tiffany and Tim who will have their wedding late summer at the Vintner’s Golf Club in Yountville. More to come soon!

Last Sunday, I spent the morning enjoying gorgeous weather in Santa Cruz with a really fun couple- Joy and Tim. Tim proposed to Joy at an amusement park, so it was quite appropriate to do an engagement session at one as well! Joy is quite the crafter and I am looking forward to her creations she is working on for their 2011 Morgan Hill wedding!

Joy and Tim- thank you for being so fun, completely yourselves, and all around a delight to work with! I love how you make each other laugh HARD- I love your goofiness, strong love for each other and obvious passion for love and life. I had a really fun morning with you!

Lili Durkin photographed Krystal and Leon in San Jose, Ca. These are their engagement photos, their wedding will be held in September at the Saratoga Foothill Club in Saratoga, CA.
