Walnut Creek and Livermore Engagement Photos

There’s something so special about engagement sessions that feel effortlessly elegant—where the light, the surroundings, and the couple all work in harmony. F+S’s session was exactly that.

Ruby Hill Winery

We started our day at the iconic Ruby Hill Winery, a venue known for its warm architecture and Tuscan-inspired charm. With its sweeping vineyards and romantic walkways, Ruby Hill created the perfect setting for portraits that feel both refined and full of joy. F+S brought such a natural warmth and energy to every moment—it was such a joy to capture their connection in this timeless space. This pair of venues really is the grandest of Bay Area Engagement Session Locations.

The Gardens at Heather Farm Park

After Ruby Hill, we made our way to the Gardens at Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly for Bay Area couples looking for a peaceful, floral-filled location. The gardens are beautifully maintained and offer a variety of lush backdrops—from vibrant roses to soft green pathways. For couples who want a balance of classic elegance and natural beauty in their engagement photos, Heather Farm is a hidden gem. The light there in the late afternoon is absolutely magical, giving everything a soft, golden glow.

Timeless Images

What I love about this session is how it truly reflects what my clients value most—intentional beauty, meaningful experiences, and imagery that feels like them. F+S weren’t looking for trendy poses or overdone edits. They wanted photos that would feel timeless now and forever—something that reflected the beginning of their legacy together. That’s exactly what we created. Their calm energy and genuine love made every image sing.

Engagement sessions are more than just a warm-up for the wedding day—they’re a chance to slow down and celebrate this in-between season. If you’re newly engaged and planning a 2026 wedding in California, I’d love to help you create something beautiful and personal to you. There are so many Bay Area Engagement Session Locations worthy of your story! Whether we’re strolling through the vineyards or among the roses at Heather Farm, my goal is to create elegant, true-to-color imagery that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. Get in touch today.
