From photographer Kristine Marie Photography:

Funny how you find love in unexpected places. Funny how a family friend becomes a fiance. Funny how there are so few people who can coax the carefree in each of us and can make us laugh and dance freely like no one is watching. David does that for Jessie. "He is the only person on this planet that can get me to step out of my comfort zone. He is the only person who can get me to get up and dance," Jessie said. It was really sweet to see their affection for each other during our La Jolla Shores beach engagement. The water was cold and the waves lapped up at our feet. David takes Jessie's hand and leads her closer to the ocean. She protests, while still laughing. He holds her close and they dance until the next big wave came. Within a year of working together, feelings grew. Jessie and Dave have been dating for about three years, and last summer, David proposed to Jessie right here along La Jolla Shores beach. She was so surprised that all she could utter was, "Really? Really?" Jessie said that she remembers David standing there, holding open a box with the most beautiful ring that she has ever seen. Jessie loves how David is so caring and always makes her feel like a lady. One of her favorite moments with David is during one of their romantic dates at Bertrand at Mister A's in San Diego. While enjoying dessert, she remembers feeling like the luckiest girl as they watched the planes take off and land from the twelfth floor... Special note: The bride, Jessie is wearing a handmade flower crown with red roses. She made it herself, especially for our beach engagement photoshoot. She wanted a bohemian, hippie look.
