Amy and Jon “…are Californians who hail from Los Angeles but we are not snooty and we hate juice fasts.” :) I can’t speak for the juice fasts, but they certainly aren’t snooty and are up for practically anything. They’re happy-go-lucky people who just happen to be really really pretty. Despite moving back to California this month (this time to the San Francisco area), they wanted to have engagement pictures taken in Durham since it means a lot to them. They moved here when Jon decided to attend business school, and together they adopted their first puppy and got engaged. So even though they’re moving back, they’ve come to really love Durham and see it as a big part of their relationship. They wanted nature, tall trees, skylines, American Tobacco views, and urban city backgrounds. So we ran around the Eno! We hopped around downtown! We did all this without anyone contracting poison ivy and only running into only ONE instance of urine around an elevator! :D You can’t ask for a more successful session than that. ;) So with these pictures we bid a fond farewell to Amy and Jon and wish them the best of luck returning to California. Durham will miss you!couple walking in woods west point on the eno west point on the eno durham engagement session in the eno couple holding hands walking engagement photographs couple walking through the woods engagement portrait in the eno couple hugging in the woods couple laughing west point on the eno couple laughing west point on the eno durham engagement photographers black and white photo west point on the eno couple standing by water couple sitting on log west point on the eno engagement session west point on the eno engagement session downtown durham engagement session silhouetted engagement photo durham skyline durham nc skyline durham engagement photos durham engagement photographers durham portrait photographers downtown durham engagement session quirky engagement portrait engagement portrait durham nc couple laughing downtown durham downtown durham couple walking couple in alley portrait in durham alley couple walking couple standing by wall creative durham photographers durham engagement session
