I want to get married again! Long Branch Saloon, Half Moon Bay, CA

Yes, I said it! But not to anyone new… I think my husband and I could rock the Long Branch Saloon. Talk about a venue that covers it all. Kevin Palmer, the owner of Long Branch Saloon, has taken his passion to a new level. It is a picturesque, straight out of the movies, old western town feel nestled into the country side of the Half Moon Bay Coastline. He has done such a tasteful and artistic job of really bringing you back to the old days in a sweet and vintage sort of way. What I loved about the Long Branch Saloon is that you have a wedding that can be kept intimate but not confined… allowing for everyone to really enjoy the day. From bow in arrows, to miniature golf… to the old style gambling saloon complete with poker tables and roulette… if you are not a dancer, there is sure to be something for the young at heart to enjoy…. and if nothing else, kick back and enjoy the creation Mr. Palmer has pulled together… it truly is magnificent!

The couple, Vanessa and Jordan, also put their special touches on the day. From vintage wear to custom cocktails and games, this wedding was definitely a fun one!

Love Birds: Mission District San Francisco Engagement Session

I am so excited to be photographing Vanessa and Arturo's wedding in October. We first needed to capture their engagement portraits though, and Vanessa came in knowing exactly what she wanted! Her theme of the the wedding is love birds, her first date was at Beretta's Restaurant in the Mission part of San Francisco, and the style was to be garden like…. so we tackled this with a couple different locations to really bring in the feeling she wanted to get from this. From the restaurant, to Stowe Lake, with a little stop in between to find the street name that is his but soon will be their's it was a session full of fun and laughter and I really can't wait to get to know them even better.Portraits by Shanti / Shanti Duprez / October Wedding / Engagement Photography / Love Bird Engagement / Stowe Lake / Beretta's Restaurant / Mission District / San Francisco / Bay Area Engagement / Castillo St. kissPortraits by Shanti / Shanti Duprez / October Wedding / Engagement Photography / Love Bird Engagement / Stowe Lake / Beretta's Restaurant / Mission District / San Francisco / Bay Area Engagement / Castillo St. kissPortraits by Shanti / Shanti Duprez / October Wedding / Engagement Photography / Love Bird Engagement / Stowe Lake / Beretta's Restaurant / Mission District / San Francisco / Bay Area Engagement / Castillo St. kissPortraits by Shanti / Shanti Duprez / October Wedding / Engagement Photography / Love Bird Engagement / Stowe Lake / Beretta's Restaurant / Mission District / San Francisco / Bay Area Engagement / Castillo St. kissPortraits by Shanti / Shanti Duprez / October Wedding / Engagement Photography / Love Bird Engagement / Stowe Lake / Beretta's Restaurant / Mission District / San Francisco / Bay Area Engagement / Castillo St. kissPortraits by Shanti / Shanti Duprez / October Wedding / Engagement Photography / Love Bird Engagement / Stowe Lake / Beretta's Restaurant / Mission District / San Francisco / Bay Area Engagement / Castillo St. kissPortraits by Shanti / Shanti Duprez / October Wedding / Engagement Photography / Love Bird Engagement / Stowe Lake / Beretta's Restaurant / Mission District / San Francisco / Bay Area Engagement / Castillo St. kissPortraits by Shanti / Shanti Duprez / October Wedding / Engagement Photography / Love Bird Engagement / Stowe Lake / Beretta's Restaurant / Mission District / San Francisco / Bay Area Engagement / Castillo St. kissPortraits by Shanti / Shanti Duprez / October Wedding / Engagement Photography / Love Bird Engagement / Stowe Lake / Beretta's Restaurant / Mission District / San Francisco / Bay Area Engagement / Castillo St. kiss

Love is love! LGBT

Anyway you look at it, love it love. And I loved meeting these two amazing women and capturing their love. I love what I do because it gives me chance to have a glimpse into someone else's lives and for a brief hour or so I get to share in their joy of life and what makes them happy. Tracy and Segrida were the lucky winners of a gift certificate I had donated for a cancer fundraising benefit, and I feel like I am the one that won that gift. Thank you Tracy and Segrida for walking into my life and allowing me to capture this for you.Shanti Duprez / Portraits by Shanti / LGBT Wedding Engagement / Half Moon Bay / Lesbian Engagement / Lesbian Wedding / Gay Wedding / Cypress Trees / Enchanted Forest / Mavericks / Alternative Engagement / Alternative Wedding / Same Sex Couple Photography / Equal RightsShanti Duprez / Portraits by Shanti / LGBT Wedding Engagement / Half Moon Bay / Lesbian Engagement / Lesbian Wedding / Gay Wedding / Cypress Trees / Enchanted Forest / Mavericks / Alternative Engagement / Alternative Wedding / Same Sex Couple Photography / Equal RightsShanti Duprez / Portraits by Shanti / LGBT Wedding Engagement / Half Moon Bay / Lesbian Engagement / Lesbian Wedding / Gay Wedding / Cypress Trees / Enchanted Forest / Mavericks / Alternative Engagement / Alternative Wedding / Same Sex Couple Photography / Equal RightsShanti Duprez / Portraits by Shanti / LGBT Wedding Engagement / Half Moon Bay / Lesbian Engagement / Lesbian Wedding / Gay Wedding / Cypress Trees / Enchanted Forest / Mavericks / Alternative Engagement / Alternative Wedding / Same Sex Couple Photography / Equal RightsShanti Duprez / Portraits by Shanti / LGBT Wedding Engagement / Half Moon Bay / Lesbian Engagement / Lesbian Wedding / Gay Wedding / Cypress Trees / Enchanted Forest / Mavericks / Alternative Engagement / Alternative Wedding / Same Sex Couple Photography / Equal RightsShanti Duprez / Portraits by Shanti / LGBT Wedding Engagement / Half Moon Bay / Lesbian Engagement / Lesbian Wedding / Gay Wedding / Cypress Trees / Enchanted Forest / Mavericks / Alternative Engagement / Alternative Wedding / Same Sex Couple Photography / Equal RightsShanti Duprez / Portraits by Shanti / LGBT Wedding Engagement / Half Moon Bay / Lesbian Engagement / Lesbian Wedding / Gay Wedding / Cypress Trees / Enchanted Forest / Mavericks / Alternative Engagement / Alternative Wedding / Same Sex Couple Photography / Equal RightsShanti Duprez / Portraits by Shanti / LGBT Wedding Engagement / Half Moon Bay / Lesbian Engagement / Lesbian Wedding / Gay Wedding / Cypress Trees / Enchanted Forest / Mavericks / Alternative Engagement / Alternative Wedding / Same Sex Couple Photography / Equal RightsShanti Duprez / Portraits by Shanti / LGBT Wedding Engagement / Half Moon Bay / Lesbian Engagement / Lesbian Wedding / Gay Wedding / Cypress Trees / Enchanted Forest / Mavericks / Alternative Engagement / Alternative Wedding / Same Sex Couple Photography / Equal RightsShanti Duprez / Portraits by Shanti / LGBT Wedding Engagement / Half Moon Bay / Lesbian Engagement / Lesbian Wedding / Gay Wedding / Cypress Trees / Enchanted Forest / Mavericks / Alternative Engagement / Alternative Wedding / Same Sex Couple Photography / Equal Rights
