When we met with Rose & Joel for the initial consult, we hit it off right away!  Must have been the constant, light-hearted jokes they say about each other (Marianne and I do that A LOT), or maybe how she was getting irritated at Joel for taking awhile to find a spot at the beach where he proposed (yup, Marianne was ready to LEAVE the venue because we couldn't find a spot to sit before I proposed).  

Here are a few photos from their engagement session we shot this past July (I know, we're a little behind on our blog).

Enjoy! -Jeff & Marianne

We started off the engagement session at the world-famous Ghirardelli Square, where he took her for their first date, more specifically at Ana Mandara restaurant.  

Rose & Joel - thank you for hanging out with us!  Rose, I know you were COLD during the night-time part of our session, so thanks for being a trooper and sticking it out with us!  Can't wait to rock your wedding next year!
