Went Weddings – Shanti Duprez Fine Portrait Photography

A Winter Wente Winery, Livermore, California

Posted on January 22, 2015 | by Shanti

I fell in love with November light combined with a beautiful bride and a gorgeous venue. Wente Winer y is a beautiful winery nestled into the rolling hills of the Livermore Valley Wine Country. Coral dresses, and golden hues are what complimented this day, but the true magic was in the love of the couple. Such real emotion with every look and smile, it was easy to fall into a zone of capturing this love story.

We had just the best experience with Shanti that we could have hoped for. Shanti’s photos are unbelievably beautiful and well-composed. She had an excellent balance between portraits of us and candid shots of our guests. Throughout the planning process, she was incredibly attentive to our silly questions and very quick to get us our engagement photos and wedding photos. She’s a pleasure to work with. While Shanti’s talents and professionalism are stellar, what really makes her stand out is her amazing personality. She was almost as excited as we were, which made us feel completely at ease when she was on the other side of the lens. We didn’t really think about how much this matters, and I’m glad that we ended up on the right side of surprised! I can’t recommend Shanti’s work enough. We were so pleased to have her as part of our special day.

Shanti was the photographer of our dreams for our engagement pictures and our wedding! For our engagement pictures, I sent her a few ideas, but she really brought it to life and we couldn’t have loved them more! She is SO on top of everything and made us feel SO comfortable throughout the 2 hour session. For our wedding, at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards in Sonoma, we couldn’t have asked for a more professional, AMAZING photographer! Shanti and her team were top notch and I can’t say enough about her! They came to where we were getting ready, were SO on point with the timeline and all the little details and followed my now husband and I around like a hawk! We had talked about various group pictures and different locations at the vineyards and she made sure that EVERYTHING was captured! I cannot recommend Shanti and her team enough! We cannot wait to see all of our wedding day photos and to use her for other photos down the road! You’re the BEST Shanti!
