Janelle and Sean met a their local CrossFit Society gym in Solana Beach awhile back . I’m sure Sean was trying to impress her with his deadlifts and kettleball swings, but all Janelle had to do was show him her contagious smile and laugh to catch his eye. While Janelle is from Southern California, Sean is an Upstate New Yorker like myself. When he moved out here he was not alone. He brought his family dog, sweet Darla with him. The true test in Sean and Janelle’s relationship would be if Darla would get along with Janelle’s pup, Rockie. Turns out that the two canine ladies are becoming good friends, and enjoy play dates together in Sean’s backyard- Dog Beach!

We spent an evening in Solana Beach walking the dogs to the water, (apparently Darla is NOT a fan of the ocean…), and catching the perfect sunset light. After enjoying a glass of champagne on the rocky cliffs, we headed up to finish the day at their CrossFit Society gym! There is nothing wrong with a little friendly competition, right?

I am very excited to photograph their wedding in April! Congrats to Janelle and Sean, and cheers to such an awesome, happy couple!
