The third time turned out to be the charm for Sarah and Brad’s engagment session in La Jolla. Our first date was rained out, and the next time it looked like “Victory at Sea” weather, so we decided to punt and see what the next Saturday would bring. It was worth the wait! Windansea looked like a postcard when we met at the stairs by Nautilus St.

I learned a few things on this shoot too. That green algae type stuff that grows on the rocks is slippery. Really, really slippery. I’m officially done wearing hiking sandals to beach sessions! The mud around the stairs is pretty slippery too, but you’d have to ask Brad about that. Despite the small comedy of errors, we actually had a terrific session.

Sarah and Brad will be getting married at the La Jolla Country Club this June and I am psyched to be their photographer.

This is the proper way to get down to the sand. I went the hard way!

By special request….

I met up with Jennifer and Sean at the ferry landing park over in Coronado a about a week ago for their engagement session. Our first date got rained out, so we were all happy to see blue skies and puffy white clouds on the way over the bridge, but oh man, was it windy! There was a moment when we met where I thought we might have to call the session off, but Jennifer and Sean were both ready to get on with it and brave the wind. I’m really glad they did, because we had a great session. Jennifer and Sean were full of energy and smiles, which made my job easy. I’m looking forward to photographing their La Jolla wedding in April, it’s going to be beautiful! .
