Hi! Thank you for visiting my blog and entering my little world of Wedding and Engagement Photography. My name is Lili Durkin. I photograph weddings mainly in the larger Bay Area, from Napa to Carmel, but have traveled internationally to document love (and would love to do so anytime!). I love what I do- and know how incredibly blessed I am to be able to say that.
Janelle and Scott spent an afternoon with me in the spectacular Marin Headlands tromping around through tall grass, thistles, and even a bog! I had such a good time getting to know these two and enjoying the gorgeous scenery and weather. Janelle and Scott are getting married this summer at Nestldown- one of my very favorite wedding venues in the Bay Area. Thank you for being so easy to photograph you two- you are so adorable together!
Here is a peek into a recent session I’ve been working on… I just love this couple!
The wisteria was in full bloom for this lovely April Memory Garden wedding. Amanda and Kevin were blessed with a beautiful sunny day after a week of what seemed like torential rains! Enjoy a peek into their wedding day. Congratulations Amanda and Kevin!
This father-daughter first look had me tearing up!
Here are a few favorites from a recent outing with Kari and Chris who will be getting married this coming summer at the Mountain Terrace in Wooside.
Thanks for a fun afternoon Kari and Chris! I’m looking forward to your wedding this summer!
She spends her weekdays teaching children in Los Angelos, he is a member of Alpine Meadows Ski Patrol team… so they make the most of their weekend visits in gorgeous Lake Tahoe. Visits are even more fun for Collin and Megan with the addition of their new puppy Walter. Walter is training to be an Avalanche Rescue dog- isn’t he the cutest puppy ever?? This family is adorable- and I can’t wait to photograph Megan and Collin’s wedding this summer! It was an absolute pleasure to sped some time with them in North Lake Tahoe along the Truckee and on the Lake. Thank you Megan and Collin for being so lovely and fun to photograph- it was great spending a bit of time with you and meeting Walter!
The rain clouds parted just in time for the beautiful San Francisco Wedding of Jay and Sandra at Grace Cathedral. After their touching ceremony, the guests were led by a bagpiper down the street to he Pacific Union Club for an elegant reception.
Photos of the interior of the Pacific Union Club are not permitted to be published, so I will leave you with the sweet couple heading up the steps. Congratulations Sandra and Jay!
Thank you to the lovely vendors who made this event a success! A special thanks to my assistant Kate Skogen for being my extra hands and eyes!
