Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Carlsbad State Beach Elopement – {Hunter + Lauren}
This may win as most casual wedding last year! Hunter + Lauren absolutely love camping at Carlsbad State Beach – so of course that is where they would choose to get married! It was a small, short standing ceremony on the beach followed by a yummy dinner at the nearby hotel. The night ended with bonfires, laughter and lots of love. 
Ceremony Location: Carlsbad State Beach
Dinner Location: Hilton Oceanfront Resort & Spa
Photographer: Melissa McClure Photography
Florist: Cherry Blossom Floral Designs

So many vivid colors! I’m in <3 with those centerpieces! Love the ring shot and the backdrop you found at the hotel – you always find the best places to frame your shots! 🙂
I love all of this! So relaxed + intimate! Beautiful job, Melissa!
