Ten Years in the Making

I was given the great opportunity by my good friend 'J' to meet 'T' and 'C', and shoot their engagement pictures. 'J' and I share the same passion and natural high of photography. I love shooting with her because she has so many different ideas, and we are always giggling and giddy as school girls when it comes to anything that has to do with photography.

'T' and 'C' are from Orange County, and they will be getting married next month on their ten year anniversary! Ten years! Wow, that is a long time. After hearing that from 'T' I couldn't help but think about the past ten years of my life. And it just dawned on me that my Hubster and I will be celebrating ten years together this May. Then I thought about our first date ten years ago and it was at J's house! You see, J's little brother 'R', is our good friend and even our son's godfather and that is how I came about meeting 'J'. My Hubster and I actually played basketball at 'R' and J's house for our first date. Very romantic, I know. Still 'til this day, my Hubster still claims that he won the one on one game against me, but I think that girls are allowed one flagrant foul per game when playing against the opposite sex.

Before the shoot, 'J' and I decided to go to Old Town early so that we can scope out different spots for optimal pictures. Old Town is in the heart of San Diego and absolutely beautiful. The smell of the fresh Mexican food, the sound of the mariachi band, the rustic feel of the old, colorful buildings, all made for a beautiful Sunday afternoon photo shoot.
