Engagement Session 1
The Vineyard Shots
My husband and I were in the San Francisco Bay area for all of two days, when I got the phone call from my very good friend from my teaching credential program, Briana. We thought we would try to do a session in San Diego (since that is where she is originally from and where we met), but we braved the brief time we had, and the crazy weather to do a Northern California photo session. We went wild after a few set backs (story to come soon). This post will feature the different venues we were able to see. It was quite fun tromping around in the rain with them around the Bay Area. I got to see a lot, and discover many new places in this vast plain!
There is no way they can fake it... they are IN LOVE!
Give me a kiss to build a dream on...
Simple Romance
Lost in love... and a vineyard :)
Wrapped up in you
Completely, absolutely in love.
Ready to run... straight to the altar!
Isn't that ring GORGEOUS?!
Playful!
Walk in love
Just adorableThe Plantation Home Shots
The Concannon Winery has the most precious white, classic older style home on it's property. I like to call it a "Plantation Home." We had a great time playing around the porch and the surrounding area. Enjoy these shots!

This one is one of my favorites!
The Winery Shots
The people at the Concannon winery were so gracious and kind! We got to the area very early in the morning. They opened up the tasting room doors early for us, and allowed us to go crazy! They even gave Mike and Briana a free tasting! If you are ever in the Livermore area, check them out. But right now, check out Mike & Bri!
January 2nd, 2009 + Del Valle Lake Engagement Session 2
This session of the blog we should call EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG DID- BUT THEY ARE STILL IN LOVE! The story starts like this: we woke up early in the morning to the news that there was going to be rain in the Bay Area! Now, we Southern California girls know that the forecast of rain doesn't always come true, but we found out that it almost always true in the Northern part of our great state. We decided to push on, and go forward with the shoot. We had hoped that while we were at the winery the rain would wear off, it did not. It only poured harder. Yet, we pressed on. We headed to Del Valle Lake, deciding to go to one of the most secluded spots of the area. After shooting for a bit, we decided to go closer to the lake. First, we hopped in the car, and as Bri turned the ignition, it gave out! We were stranded. To make a long story short we had no cell phone reception, a park ranger came and was unable to jump our car, then the park ranger said the only phone available was the pay phone, then the pay phone didn't work properly! We finally got in touch through a choppy pay phone, another park ranger came with proper jumping equipment, and we switched cars with Mike's parents! It was quite the eventful day, but these two pushed on... and looked oh so good! Look forward to another posting with pictures from beautiful parks in Pleasanton. Until then, enjoy the rest of the shots of Mike & Briana. I am so blessed to know you two, can't wait for your wedding, and you to truly fit each other!
