Jessica and Bob are getting married in September, so we went to the beach on Monday to do an engagement shoot. We had originally scheduled their session for a few weeks ago, but the wind was blowing way too hard to try to get decent portraits. But Monday was gorgeous. In town the temperatures were in the 70’s, the sun was shinning, there was a very gentle breeze and the sky was a beautiful Carolina blue. What more could you ask for? We drove out to the beach and as soon as we crossed the drawbridge we realized that conditions weren’t quite as perfect as we’d hoped. The flags were whipping – letting us know that the gentle breeze had become more like gale force winds!
Since we were already at the beach, we decided to make the best of it and go ahead with the shoot. Bob and Jessica were so easy to work with. I’ve known and loved Jessica for quite a few years, but have only met Bob once or twice. He was so much fun – and did whatever I asked of him. What made me really fall in love with him though was watching him with Jessica. He was so kind, considerate and affectionate – as was Jessica. Seeing them together Monday made me look forward to shooting their wedding even more. And it made me remember how much I enjoy engagement sessions. I’m a long way from completing the edit on their session, but here are a few of my favorites . . . so far.
