Dana Point Engagement Pictures {Tim & Kristie}

Derek & Sarah — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:30:03 +0000

Tim & Kristie are all around good people- easy going and great to talk with. It was a little chilly in Dana Point when we did their shoot, but Derek and I had such a fun time joking around with them as we adventured over cliffs, bushes, rocks- you name it. We met them through Tim’s friend Joe, whose wedding we’re also shooting this summer- it’s always good to work with friends of friends! Onto their day…

Beautiful.

After shooting for a while up on the cliffs of Dana Point (which was a bit scary, btw), we headed down to the Ocean Institute and beach…

Love this shot.

And yes, the water was freezing.

Tim & Kristie- you guys did such a great job! Derek and I are excited to shoot your wedding this summer at the Villa San Juan Capistrano!

A San Francisco Engagement in the Rain {Lin & Michael}

Derek & Sarah — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:24:13 +0000

Michael and Lin have such an easiness about them. They are comfortable, relaxed, and calm in each others arms… and its so cute! We had such a great time up in San Francisco getting to know them, the city they live in, and capturing their engagement session. We started at Golden Gate Park…

Oh, it was raining by the way.. like pouring rain on and off- so we had quite the adventure dodging drops between shots!Then we headed down to catch a few shots with the Golden Gate in the background. The rain had stopped and this amazing sky broke through!

It was ICY cold out though!!! They were such good sports (Michael warming Lins hands between shots.)

Lin and Michael, We are so excited you chose us; and we can’t wait to capture your big day up in Lake Arrowhead this coming summer!!

Ryan & Lindsey {Engaged!}

Derek & Sarah — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 20:40:42 +0000

Here’s a few pics from Ryan and Lindsey’s engagement shoot in Yorba Linda. I (Derek) have known Ryan since he was in 6th Grade; one of my early college jobs was as an afterschool daycare worker, and he was one of the kids! Now he is getting married… so aweseome!

I really like this one! They were so smiley and cute together all day.These next 3 are my favorite shots from the day. The light was SO nice this particular afternoon.Ryan and Lindesy both work for the Angels Organization, so they wanted to incorporate a little of that into their shoot.

Ryan and Lindsey- Sarah and I are so excited to be shooting your wedding in just a few short months!

{SarahBeth & Tim Engaged!}

Derek & Sarah — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:30:23 +0000

A while back I met up with SarahBeth and Tim on Balboa Island for their engagement session. We first met SarahBeth when we were asked to shoot her for the cover of her children’s music album; which by the way, is SO great! My kiddos love singing along to her songs! Anyway, Tim and SarahBeth are just the sweetest and cutest couple! I loved spending time with them walking around an area that is really special to them. (Tim’s grandparents live on Balboa, so they spend a lot of time there.)

I think this one might be my favorite of the day!
SarahBeth is such a girlie girl, and she LOVES hearts! Her diamond is even a heart cut. So the balloons they brought along fit her perfectly!

Downtown San Francisco Engagement Photos {Elizabeth & Greg}

Derek & Sarah — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:00:50 +0000

Today I finally get to share the engagement of Greg and Elizabeth in San Fransisco! Her and Greg live up in the bay area, so it was perfect to capture their E shoot in the city they often go on dates in, and the place they got engaged! Elizabeth is like a family member to me; our families have been friends since birth- so it’s SO exciting for me to get to share in this time with her!!Loved this random place we found!
Liz… you looked gorgeous!!
