Mt. Diablo in April

Back at the beginning of April my husband and I hosted two of our best friends from North Carolina. One of our favorite things to do when we have houseguests is to show off the beautiful Mt. Diablo State Park. We are so incredibly lucky to live 20 minutes away from this incredible site. It's amazing that you can see as far as Sacramento from the summit on a clear day. When Kevin and Allison were in town we were very happy to take them up on an almost perfectly clear day. An added bonus was the fact that they arrived in the small window of time where the hills around Mt. Diablo are actually green! We stopped at a couple of turn-outs along the way and got some great pics of the California poppies scattered along the hillside.

Engagement Session in downtown San Jose

Last month I met up with Mark and Susan in downtown San Jose to shoot their engagement session- They wanted a modern, urban feel but wanted to still keep it romantic. We met up at the site of one of their first dates and walked around downtown from there. We stopped at the Tech Museum and had a great time utilizing the bright blue tile wall of the famous building. I'm really looking forward to their wedding in Monterey in July. Their reception ballroom has an absolutely fabulous view of Monterey Bay and I know we'll have a blast photographing it!

Engagement Session at Holbrook Palmer Park

Back in April I met with Amy and Dan to photograph their engagement session. I am really looking forward to their wedding this Saturday! Their engagement session was at the same site as their ceremony and reception, Holbrook Palmer Park in Atherton. Atherton is down in the South Bay- next to Menlo Park and near Palo Alto. We had gorgeous weather for the engagement session and I'm looking forward to more of the same on Saturday! Congratulations Amy and Dan!

Here's the image they chose for their signature board-- They look so happy!!
