Earlier this month I had the opportunity to photograph Katy & Alan’s Engagement Session in San Francisco. These two met during their studies at Cal. It was another late night at the Thomas J. Long Business Library. He was at a table pouring over Finance books. She was flipping through her notes studying something equally as nerdy. He glanced up and their eyes locked. And it was love at first sight. Ok kidding. That would have been too easy.
Katy’s initial impression of Alan is not a pleasant one. You see, Alan has a thing for working out. And in college, you try to squeeze in work outs whenever you can. Schedules are all over the place…if you don’t squeeze it in, it won’t happen. So on this day of destiny, Alan rolls into class right after a workout. And little does Alan know that his future wife is secretly judging him. Judging by his muscles, she puts him in the “Jock” category. Jocks are a big no-no
Strike one.
And perhaps worse that that, he’s sweaty. EWww. Gross.
Strike two and three.
And if that perception had not changed, I wouldn’t be writing about them today. But as in all good stories, fate intervened. After graduation, these two were reconnected and Alan had a do-over card. This time I believe he made a much better impression. The rest is history 
. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in a couple of months!!
