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!!

The holidays are right around the corner…and the finish line is in sight.

To be honest, I’ve been looking forward to this break since August. The last couple of months have been  hectic [As you can see from this  poor, neglected blog], but at the same time, extremely rewarding. And while adverse situations are unavoidable, they bring about growth and progress. In the coming weeks, I finally have time to show what I’ve been up to . Stay tuned!

So I wanted to introduce you, my 2 blog readers, to Sonny and Christie. I’m so blessed to have wonderful, loving clients.  Sonny & Christie were referred to me by a friend from High School [Its seriously a small world]. After a couple of email exchanges, we decided to set up a meeting. Now I’ll let you in on a little secret. I take my coffee seriously. I once received a coffee gift card from a client with a note that said “don’t stay up too late”. I teared up. Its THAT important. So when they decided to meet up at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf [because of their similar love for black gold], I knew we were going to get right along.

We ended up chatting the afternoon away. Sonny had the most amusing story about his ordeal in getting the ring. Shipping Difficulties. We’ll leave it at that. It involves many conversations with the Services Reps, heated “discussion” culminating in Sonny asking the Service Rep “Are you married? Do you remember your engagement? Inside that package is an engagement ring.  I need it.” You’d be surprised how far people are willing to bend when they know than an engagement ring is involved.

The rest is history. Here are some of the images from their engagement session. We shot around the downtown San Diego area. Such a fun area. Enjoy!
