Jamie + Kurt {China Camp Engagement Session, Sonoma County Engagement Photos, China Camp Photos}

I shot this engagement session several months ago during a very busy week and must have forgotten to share a few images!! I met Jamie and her super sweet Mother at the Santa Rosa Bridal Show back in January. They both were just so incredibly nice! I just knew that her Husband-to-be, Kurt just had to be equally as sweet of a guy, and my assumption was correct! You know I think everyone has a friend or knows someone who is just genuinely a ridiculously nice person. Well it looks like 2 of those people found each other! Jamie and Kurt are soft spoken yet their love for each other and their gentle kindness is not hidden what so ever.
When Jamie and I discussed locations for their engagement session she mentioned a location out in Marin County called China Camp. I had never heard of it before but was very excited to explore a new location. Apparently I've been living under a rock or something because this place was amazing! It's a State Park which is nestled along the shore of the San Pablo Bay. The road through the park has gorgeous views of the Bay. Along the main road there is an extensive intertidal salt marsh, meadow, and oak habitats. Apparently a Chinese shrimp-fishing village thrived on this site in the 1880s. Nearly 500 people, originally from Canton, China, lived in the village. In its "heyday" there were three general stores, a marine supply store and a barber shop. We didn't get to explore everything, not even close, but we did get a chance to use some of those old buildings as an amazing backdrop!
This location was so amazing and I hope to go back soon! Thank you to Kurt and Jamie for sharing this wonderful location with me!
