Courtney + Eric’s “Love Hop” | San Francisco Engagement, California

Laugher is the way to true love.  Eric makes Courtney laugh… and for the time I spent with them, it was all the time.

Courtney and Eric met in college, dated for almost a decade, and then when he proposed and got ready to tie the knot, they emailed me sometime late last year to help them capture their imagery.  When we began coordinating dates to meet and talk about our engagement session, it took a while from our first initial interaction until we finally met.  The Giants were entering the World Series, and since the games were unannounced, I learned how much Courtney and Eric were HUGE fans of the Giants – we postponed our meetings until the games were done.  Don’t get me wrong, I had nooooo problem rescheduling – as Courtney and Eric were at the games rooting the Giants on at AT&T Park, I got to spend time watching the Giants make history and win the World Series too!

When we finally had the chance to meet, I think my smile may have been the same or wider than theirs – Eric makes Courtney laugh like no other, and I was so happy for the two of them.  I got to learn more about them, such as how Courtney and Eric share their love with their animals – two dogs, a cat, and a ton of reptiles of all sorts.  We also realized we have a number of mutual friends from all different networks!  In addition, Courtney hired JT Artistry (Jennifer Toy) for her makeup.  Small world.  BUT most importantly, within the first ten minutes of meeting them, they are the types of clients I love having:  people who have found “the one” and are in love.

As we spent months planning Courtney + Eric’s “Love Hop”, countless emails with outfit selections, opinions, and other suggestions, we had to postpone our engagement session a few times too.  There was terrible weather, and other conflicts too.  As we finalized our very last date, Courtney told me over the phone , “Eric said we should stop postponing and rescheduling our engagement session because Michelle might not think we’re getting married at all!”  After laughing on the phone with Courtney for the rest of the conversation, I think I giggled for the next ten minutes after we ended the call.  Their laughter is contagious.

Well, here we are today!  I LOVE this couple.  Before they head off to get married in Hawaii, here’s Courtney and Eric’s Love Hop!  I’m so honored and thankful to have met you two, and I can’t wait to continue the fun and laughter in July.  Like, comment, share, and enjoy!!
