Lathen and Rachel Engagement









Geri and I photographed Lathen and Rachel this last Sunday afternoon. The Padres had just lost their game and were off to Colorado for the Wild Card Playoffs the next day and the Chargers were in the lead. Someone other than Lathen and I chose the date and time for this session and he was such a great sport letting us photograph him when he could have been home watching the Chargers...ummmm...give it up before the end of the game...

We started at Summer's Past Farm and walked through the grounds stopping at areas around the farm photographing the two of them. They were so much fun and up for anything! After an ice tea to cool us down we headed to their old stomping grounds.

They met when she was a freshman in high school and he was a sophomore at El Capitan High School in Lakeside. They brought his letterman jacket covered with his patches from playing baseball in high school. We walked the grounds of the high school (Geri is an alumni from there also...graduated 1999 I think!!!=} Did I score any brownie points there Geri????) while the 3 of them reminisced and talked about their memories of the school and the changes that had been made to the school since they graduated.

It was a neat experience being with them where they first met and realizing how far they have come up to this point. They are going to get married on Friday October 12th and the wedding sounds like it is going to be a blast!!

Thank you guys for the great experience and I can't wait to see you guys on your special day!!!

Enjoy!!

Class of 1999 is close enough. And yes, I'll be adding up your brownie points now.
