Obviously if you are single, new to San Francisco, and looking to meet new people you are going to create a Match profile (at least that is what Jeff’s roommate at the time told him).  You never expect to meet someone…The One.  You hope for it, but you never really think it will actually happen.  It works.  It has to.  More than 50% of weddings I shoot are “Match” weddings.  I swear! Ok, that is the end of my sales pitch that Match didn’t paid me for.  Jeff and Corinne only lived a couple blocks from each other and decided to meet at a cute little tapas place in Russian Hill.  This place was not too far from where they lived and according to Jeff’s iPhone, it was a quick walk…what Suri fails to tell you is that the ‘quick walk’ is actually a long haul up hill the whole way.  Jeff made the trek and he arrived a little more sweaty than he would like to appear for a first impression.  “No problem,” he thought, “I’ll just go to the bathroom and pat down before she arrives”…except that Corinne pulled up in a cab at the same time!  They were seated immediately.  Jeff flustered, hot, & stunned by his immediate attraction to this blonde before him…dropped his fork…

I believe that it was Corinne’s response to the situation unfolding before her that sealed the deal and broke the ice for an amazing night which would follow.  We all want things to go perfectly on every first impression, but sometimes being called a “Hot Mess” is the first step to a long and happy relationship.

I absolutely adore Corinne and Jeff!  I felt an immediate connection with them as soon as they walked in the door for our first meeting.  I loved their energy & adoration for each other.  I knew I HAD to shoot their wedding.  I am always nervous, somewhat flustered, and obviously a little sweaty when I meet a new couple as I want to put my best foot forward…But then…I dropped my pen…

It was here at Greenwich & Hyde where Jeff dropped to one knee and proposed to Corinne…
