Chelsey and Danny : Engagement

It's a special place. Yes, it's beautiful, but it's also beautifully special. Tucked inside the San Juan Capistrano Mission chapel, Danny professed his undying love for Chelsey. People quietly prayed and the chapel was still, but Danny plowed forward…despite Chelsey's looks of Umm, don't you think you're being a little rude, huh? Undeterred, Danny told her how much he loved her and asked if Chelsey would like to be married in a church like the one they sat in. No, Chelsey hissed. It was then. It was then Danny pulled a diamond engagement ring from his pocket and asked, Well, would you mind being proposed to in a church like this?

Uncaring of the quiet prayers and the still chapel, Chelsey happily cried and said YES!

Even though Danny and I have known each other for over 15 years, you made us bond in a way we never had before. It truly brought out a different side in both of us… the way he would look at me, or even touched me was different, the things he whispered in my ears gave me butterflies again, and for the first time in a long time, I was nervous in front of him. It put me back to the lunch table where Danny kissed me for the first time in 7th. grade… only this time he didn't have bottle cap glasses to get in the way. A nervous feeling was the first feeling Danny ever gave to me, and to capture that 15 years later in photos will be amazing.

How lucky am I to have these two as my clients?!? I'm beyond thrilled to work with Chelsey and Danny for their August wedding…their love is infectious and I know we're going to have the time of our lives in San Diego later this year! Chelsey and Danny decided to go back to the site of their proposal for their engagement session as it's quite a special place and here are a few of my favs…

This is how you'll usually find Chelsey and Danny…

Work it out, Chelsey…work it!

Chelsey and Danny were off at a slight distance when I asked Danny to twist her into him. I think he just heard “twist” because he did the Chubby Checker Twist…Danny, please don't hate me for this picture…I think it's funny! 🙂

After hanging out at the Mission, we walked over to the San Juan Capistrano Train Station for a little more fun…

Danny spent a good ten minutes trash-talking…poor Chelsey had a heck of a time blowing a bubble…but she finally made one and we were so proud! 😉
