Adam is a very good friend of mine from High School.  He’s one of the few that I have kept in contact with consistently since we graduated.  He joined the Army after high school, where he met his love Peter. I won’t get in to their entire love story on this blog, but if interested you can read this awesome article that the Huffington Post did on their wedding & relationship.   These two were married back in October in Iowa and I wasn’t able to make the ceremony or reception.  When they came through SoCal a few weeks ago, I offered to take some “post-wedding” photos of them since they didn’t have professional ones done for their wedding!  This was my first time getting to meet Peter and I can tell he is the perfect match for Adam.  I love reading their blog and how they openly express their love for each other.  I’m so happy for my friend to have found true love!

I cannot wait for Courtney and Eric’s wedding this year!  It was a bit overcast but Marian Bear Park still had some amazing color in their leaves!  San Diego gets a little bit of the seasons, you just have to look hard for it! 🙂  Oh and immediately after this session I went out and bought the same boots Courtney is wearing with her 2nd outfit. I love them so much! 🙂

I cannot wipe this stupid happy grin off my face as I relived memories from each of these weddings.
So much love, new friendship and lots of laughs.  I wish the very same for your 2012!

Thank you to our amazing clients in 2011 (including those not pictured here!)  My life has been enriched by knowing you, you are the reason I do what I do!

xoxo, Melissa (and Mandi too!)

I love hanging out with these two!  They love to laugh, just like me!  We had a blast chasing the sunlight at their Torrey Pines engagement session, ending down on the beach with a gorgeous orange sunset.  I am stoked for their wedding in July!
