Engaged! | Courtney + Sean | San Diego, California

A funny thing happened when Courtney first contacted me last year about shooting their wedding: I told her I was unavailable because I was pregnant and would be on maternity leave at the time. Courtney said she was disappointed but obviously understood. A week or so later, I got another email from her saying “wait, you know it’s May 2012 we’re getting married, not 2011, right?” Ha ha…clearly I had read initial email wrong because I wasn’t planning on being pregnant for over a year and a half (can you imagine the size of that baby??). So yaaaaay I was available and yaaaaaay they booked me…and I’m so glad they did because I super heart this couple with a cherry on top. Everything clicked on the day of their engagement session–the location was inspiring, the light was gorgeous and, as Sean remarked at the end of the session, we were an awesome team. The only thing that didn’t click for me right away? Getting my timing right on the last photo of the day–Sean doing a heel click as they were walking down the path (Sean loves doing heel clicks). I was struggling to get the shot exactly the way I wanted it…and it totally tapped into my competitive nature because I was like “dude, we’re getting this shot right.” And Sean was right there with me, saying “I can heel click all day. Look at this gorgeous lady I’m gonna marry–who wouldn’t want to do a heel click?” Yeah, seriously, that’s how cute they are because he was totally serious. A gazillion heel clicks later, success. Enjoy the the photos of this awesome sauce* couple!
