CDA Engagement Photography: Jesse & Nicole

They met in high school. They didn't go to the same school but they were on the same track team - or something like that. I asked them what they remembered about their first impression of each other, and for Jesse, it was simple "she's pretty". This is similar to the first thought I had of my wife, so I can relate to that. Anyway, Nicole wasn't too far off, thinking Jesse was "cute". The thing is, they would immediately start flirting. At the time, neither one was in a relationship and Jesse would start hitting on Nicole by telling her jokes. He figured, as long as she was laughing, things were going well.

He wasn't wrong. Nicole told me she really appreciated the fact that he wasn't "hitting on her" in a traditional sense. It wouldn't take long, but they would start dating only a week or two later (after Nicole turned Jesse down for asking her out over text message). That was over 6 years ago, when Jesse was a junior in high school and Nicole was only a sophomore, but now they are getting married! I am so excited to be there when these two get married and I have the chance to capture one of the biggest moments in their lives.
