Against all odds...{Engagement Portraits, Wedding Photographer- Eureka, CA}

Ever since the fall, when Heidi & Matt booked us for their July 2011 wedding, we had been trying our darnedest to get an engagement session to happen.  Normally it wouldn't be too difficult to be able to schedule with a couple, but when they have to make the four and a half hour drive from Chico to get to me, it makes it a little tricky. 


First, I believe Matt got the flu, poor guy, and they had to cancel their trip to the coast. Re-scheduled. Then the sky decided to open up and dump a ton of snow onto 299 and prevent them from getting here. Re-re-scheduled. Then, low and behold, Heidi came down with that same flu (thanks for sharing, Matt!) ;) We were beginning to think it just wasn't in the cards for us and we almost gave up on the idea since they knew they probably wouldn't be able to make the jaunt until their wedding rolls around in July.  But since the engagement session is a very important step to us in the entire wedding photography process, we decided that we had to make it work and that perhaps we could schedule a visit to Redding during their Spring Break and meet them part-way, so that's just what we did! 


I bet you think I'm going to say that I ended up with the flu and couldn't make it. Nope, but it did try to rain on our parade! We were lucky enough to have window that morning just long enough to squeeze their portraits in.  It must have been because it was St. Patty's Day! We had fun walking around Turtle Bay and the Sundial Bridge and shared a lot of laughs together. I'm so glad we didn't give up after the first three tries, because we never would have ended up with such wonderful results! Enjoy! :)
