Heleyna & Kyle’s Laguna Beach Engagement | Damion Hamilton | Destination Engagement Photographer

What can we say except that Heleyna and Kyle are so easy to photograph and fun to hang out with?  These two are not just beautiful, but also super genuine people.  Damion had a blast with them in Laguna Beach while being grilled by Kyle about his entire medical history, from birthmarks to green eyes (just teasing you Kyle!).  But seriously, Kyle’s passion for medicine and for the well being of people is contagious and impactful.  He carries a rare and natural gift in the area of health and medicine.  The thing I love about Heleyna is that not only is she gorgeous in the color images, but there is just something about her face in black and white that is incredibly striking! The B & W’s from the beach session were my (Julie’s) favorites of the entire shoot.  Can’t wait to see you guys in a couple of months again!! Hope you all enjoy!

 

 

Sarah & Noah’s Cornerstone Sonoma Wedding part 2 | Damion Hamilton | Napa Sonoma Wedding Photographer

After Sarah & Noah’s ceremony, they were whisked away for a few “married” portraits while their friends and family noshed on delicious hors d’oeuvres created by Elaine Bell Catering and enjoyed a summer themed cocktail hour on the barn patio complete with green grass, hay bales and a bright celebratory color palette.  They also shared their private reserve of wine, which the guests, of course, loved! Dinner was served under the tent while the after party was set up in the barn where they danced the night away!

 

Thank you to Noah & Sarah for allowing us to be a part of this great day! You guys were awesome and so chill…and so in love.  We love seeing couples who adore each other–THAT is what makes the best pictures–true love.  May you have many more years of happiness and true love!

Sarah & Noah’s Cornerstone Gardens Wedding Part 1 | Damion Hamilton | Napa/Sonoma Wedding Photographer

It is always a treat to photograph two people in love! When it comes down to it, what more could we ask for? Truly it’s those secret smiles and faint, tender touches that bring LIFE to the photos and communicate their passion. From the first time we met Sarah & Noah, their chemistry was obvious! All year long Damion kept telling me “I can’t wait to capture them…they’re so in love!”  And so it was with this anticipation that we arrived to capture a beautiful day at Cornerstone Gardens with Sarah & Noah. The colorful design by Sasha Souza Events helped to fuel the celebratory mood. I also loved that they included their dog Petey, who sadly expired shortly before the wedding, but was there in their hearts as they paid homage to him by using his collar tag on the bouquet.

Thank you Sarah & Noah for letting us be a part of your day.  It is so refreshing to see people to genuinely, truly love each other, lean on each other and fully appreciate and respect the value of the other person.  We hope you enjoy many, many more happy years together!
