Ernie was one of the first people I met when I moved to San Diego a few years ago. We both taught swim lessons at a local swim school. He was so bubbly and nice- everyone loved him! I knew that if the rest of the people I met in San Diego were half as nice as Ernie, then I’d end up loving this beautiful city and staying for quite some time! A few years later through the power of Facebook, I discover that Ernie is engaged! I couldn’t wait to hear how he met his beautiful fiancé, Millie. We met up for a coffee date and I asked! Turns out, it was one of those serendipitous moments. They were both invited to a friends wedding. She was heading to her car in the parking lot and he was racing to put his belt on by his car and make it in to the wedding! They were introduced by friends and hit it off immediately. The rest, they say, is history. Millie, a city girl, fell in love with the country boy.
For their engagement shoot, we did a “mini” walking tour of downtown San Diego. We strolled along by the convention center, said hello to the GasLamp District sign, and had a glass of wine at Toscana. We lucked out with weather and having a peaceful, uncrowded downtown. I can’t wait for their wedding next summer in Balboa Park!
