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.
From the second I put my camera to my face, Brad was whispering hilarious things in to Alicia’s ear. I only got to hear about half of it! You can tell there is a lot of laughter in their lives. They were so sweet together! Just editing these blog images makes me smile 🙂 Plus, Alicia impressed me with her bountiful Baywatch knowledge!
I’m extra excited for their June wedding. Why you ask? Because they are getting married at Ocean View Villas. The same place I am having my wedding in 11 days! Woo Hoo!
Mandi and I met these lovebirds at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point. I’d never been there before – what a cool place!
I love photos of people laughing. I think they are so beautiful.
Brad and Alicia – You two are so much fun, I can’t wait until your wedding!!
Mandi – thanks for coming along and 2nd shooting with me! I know you want that 70-200 now! haha
xoxo, M
Butts up!!! Love the butts shot, LOL! I can really feel the love, and that one shot is so epic (where they’re standing by the stone t-square looking out to the ocean).
sweet set melissa! you’ve been stepping it up everytime! way to go, homes!
Awesome job! They look like such a fun loving couple 🙂 I like how they smile big even while kissing 😉 and love the flare! Blog love, complete.
I agree with you about all the smiles and laughter. I think that should be in about 90% of all images 🙂
Probably my favorite post of yours…great images!
Great session Melissa! They are really sweet together. You’re right about the laughing ones though, they are wonderful!
Melissa- What a good looking couple! Great session- LOVE your work!

Super cute! I love all the laughter! You’re so talented, lady!
They look like a super fun couple! That golden light is awesome!
Gorgeous – as always! It looks so beautiful there – I definitely wish I was there instead of dreary old Illinois!
Wow ! I agree I love the laughter shots! You captured them beautifully! I also love love the one of them on the rocks overlooking the ocean with the pillar. Very cool location.
I LOVE these shots! There’s something about the light out there in California that’s just absolutely amazing. Great job!
These are beautiful! The lighting is gorgeous and they really look so in love!
