Jeff + Laci {Engagment Session}

Okay, how beautiful are these two. Seriously, as I was taking their pictures I was constantly thinking to myself, "these two are going to make some gorgeous babies".

Laci & Jeff are getting married next year in Texas, but wanted their engagement photos to be at the beach in Coronado, not too far from their home. Jeff was a good sport, especially with all of my directing, and we all know how much most men love to have their picture taken ;)

Congratulations to you both! And Jeff, THANK YOU for doing what you do!!!

Enjoy,

Chris + Amanda {Engagement Session}

I am SO happy to finally blog about Chris & Amanda's engagement session for more than one reason... The first is because I'm finally feeling well enough to sit up for a few hours and edit photos. As I was editing I fell in love with what I do all over again. I didn't realize just how much I've missed being behind the camera these last 5 weeks. The second is because Chris & Amanda are the most patient, understanding clients and I'm so happy to finally be able to show them their photos. Thank you both so much from the bottom of my heart for bearing with me these last few weeks!!!!!

We started their session down at The Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach and finished up at Paradise Point in Mission Bay. Chris & Amanda even brought the "kids" along for a few shots. Mother Nature smiled down on us that day, and we lucked out with some lovely weather for early March. These two are simply adorable together and love to laugh and smile.

Enjoy,
Tessa

Valerie & Bernard Engagement Pictures

After the stress of moving and being sick all week it was great to get behind the camera again on Friday night! I couldn't have asked for a better couple to photograph too... Valerie & Bernard are getting married in Vegas next month, and Valerie contacted me in May to see if I could do their engagement pictures. I knew right away it was going to be a great shoot because Valerie was working her beautiful white dress, and she was a natural in front of the camera. I loved the fact that Bernard couldn't keep his eyes off of her, and you could feel his love and protection for her through the lens. I got goosebumps pressing the shutter! Congrats to both of you on your up and coming wedding and cheers to lifetime of happiness!!!!!!
