Robin and Zach – Balboa Park and Torrey Pines Engagement Photographer

Melissa McClure — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:40:52 +0000

I met Robin prior to her engagement to Zach. She is the best friend of a very good friend of mine, Katie. I was thrilled when she got engaged and contacted me to be the photographer! They are getting married this Winter and I cannot wait for the wedding!

I adored both of Robin’s dresses during this shoot! I <3 Anthropologie!

One on of their very first dates, Zach and Robin went hiking at Torrey Pines Reserve. While they were there, they saw a couple taking their engagement photos. Robin secretly thought to herself…if Zach and I ever get married (she had a feeling back then!) I want to take our engagement photos here. Such a cute story!

My Fav! <3

Yes, it was quite chilly!

After the shoot, Zach grabbed his Android phone and started taking photos of Robin – it was so cute and totally impromptu!

It was so fun hanging with you two! See you in November!

I’d love to say that I planned this out, but I have to admit, its purely coincidental…today is Marlene’s birthday! Here is my birthday present to you my dear!! <3

Marlene booked me last year…for her 2011 wedding! Talk about planning ahead! This was my first time meeting Jeff because he is gone a large amount of time, serving our Country. Thank you for that Jeff!

They are so sweet together! You can just see the love when they look at each other!

So great hanging out with you two and looking forward to your July wedding next year!!

Dave and Jaime – Downtown and Balboa Park Engagement

Jaime and Dave met on a military training in Texas…and I think its just adorable that he is a Doctor and she is a Nurse! Jaime is about to leave for deployment so they wanted to get their engagement photos out of the way before she left!

Luck or good timing? Fav! <3

Thank you two for your service! And best wishes to a safe tour, Jaime!

NeCole and Jahrod – Balboa Park Engagement, San Diego, CA

Melissa McClure — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 22:23:12 +0000

These two have such a special story! They were high school sweethearts that went their separate ways. Here they are, years later, in different branches of the military and so much in love! Jahrod was in town for his R&R since he is currently serving our country in Iraq. NeCole is stationed on the east coast and they hadn’t seen each other in almost two years! You can imagine the emotion when they saw each other at the airport and Jahrod dropped to one knee right there to give NeCole her engagement ring!

This was my first time meeting these two, and boy did we have a blast! I am absolutely looking forward to their September wedding!

When NeCole was choosing her outfit for the shoot, she bought her shoes based on the fact we were going to shoot at the Museum of Man door! Too cute!

My fav <3

No wait, this is my fav! haha

Here’s to Jahrod’s safe return from Iraq and an amazing relationship you two have built over the years!

These two are adorable and funny! They are getting married later this year at Ocean View Villas. They were in town from Arizona and they wanted a shoot at Balboa Park since they spent a lot of time there on vacations every year!

It was so great meeting you two!!
