Are they not the cutest couple?  I will be photographing Jen and Bobby’s wedding this Spring at McCormick Ranch Golf Club, but they asked to do a beach engagement session in their hometown of San Diego.   Did someone say Beach? Ocean?…I am always up for a beach session- so I packed my bags.  We started off in the historic Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego, and then headed to Mission Beach.   When I met Jen and Bobby for the first time at the coffee shop they confessed that they were very nervous.  They had never been professionally photographed as a couple, and the anticipation of the photo session was making them a little uneasy.  I reassured them that I would direct and pose them in front of the camera, and that engagement sessions are also a great “trial” run for your wedding day.    I promised it would be not only easy, but fun.  I loved how their images came out.  I love the moments we captured and how natural they look in front of the camera.  Complete naturals in front of the camera – I tell ya.  It’s going to be a blast to photograph on their wedding day!

Congratulations on your engagement!
