When I started this engagement shoot with Heather and Chris in the Berkeley Hills, the light was absolutely beautiful, streaming through the trees and providing a beautiful warm light. We met at a small park in the hills that I had passed by many times, and had often wondered about, and maybe even dismissed quickly for it’s size and the small park that I could see facing the street. As it turns out, this little park opened up into walking trails up and down the hill, abandoned buildings, ancient oak trees, and a myriad of magical little spots of relax, picnic, and take a few photos if you were so inclined. We had a wonderful sunset, climbed on boulders, and I just let Heather and Chris play a bit on their own. They have such wonderful chemistry that all I had to do was find the light and let them do the rest.
I’m heading off to the airport in a few hours to photograph a wedding in Negril, Jamaica, but wanted to get this little teaser up on the blog. I’ll be back in the Bay Area on Tuesday evening. Enjoy!

Dear Chris and Heather, WOW! What wonderful pictures, so natural and beautiful. I am so enjoying them. A family treasure. Looking forward to the wedding. Love, Your Aunt Linda
Dear Chris and Healther,
These photographs are beautiful, truly stunning. They capture both of you in very special ways!! I am enjoying looking at them over and over.
p.s one additional comment, I have a condo in Oakland and really love that Chris grew up around there, and still loves to explore the area and find the small true beauty. Reminds of your description of the park.. what a great man.
Wow, these are just stunning.. Heather & Chris one of the best couples I know.. I’ve been blessed to know Heather throughout the time she met Chris. They’re both great people, and they bring out the light in each other.
Cannot wait for their wedding, and we’re doing some fun dessert tasting here in a few weeks!
