Chad + Katie {sonoma county engagement photography, petaluma photography, mustard field photos, alley photos}

Katie and I ended up rescheduling the origional date we set for her and Chad's engagement photos. I am so so glad we did so! The weather was amazing this morning! Slightly overcast....a photographers dream! Because of that we were able to go all over Petaluma with out having to track down shade!
Our first order of business was a cup of coffee! For a couple reasons, one being that both of us have 2 small children each and the shoot was at 9 am which meant we had to get our selves and our kids ready and to their care takers and meet up by 9 am! Second reason was because Chad and Katie's first "date" or the first time they hung out after they had met was at Starbucks. So I thought it was fitting to take a picture of them enjoying their cups of coffee at good ol' Starbucks in downtown Petaluma. (too bad Starbucks isn't paying me everytime I type the word Starbucks....) We later went to the gorgeous wild mustard fields and to my delight this wonderful couple was not afraid to treck through the mud to get these amazing shots!!!
These shots were taken this morning and I had a birthday party to go to today so I haven't had much time to edit or tweak them but I loved them so much that I had to share a handful of them!
