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.
I could help but smile huge when I got Stephanie’s first email. She was so sweet and bubbly, I could already tell by her email. I was even more excited when I learned more about her wedding. She wasn’t interested in the large hoopla that surrounds a typical wedding. She wanted it to be about her, Sean, their love, a beautiful setting & nice photos to remember it by. Such a small wedding that the coordinator at Estancia La Jolla and I were their two witnesses! Yep, their ceremony was just them! They had a Catholic Priest marry them in a short, sweet and emotional ceremony. After, I spent their first 3 hours as a married couple with them, photographing their love!
Enjoy their love story, 8 years in the making. They are smitten with each other. And I am smitten with their photos! 😉
So beautiful Melissa!! Love everything about them! What a dream to photograph too!
These are incredible! and such an intimate day for them! That last image is my absolute favorite….but they’re all great!
Gorgeous photos! I love how intimate the day was. Why can’t more weddings be like this? Beautiful job.
These are beautiful pictures! I enjoyed reading their story. I can’t wait to read your next wedding blog. All the best, Davina
Wow! Those are awesome! They’re not going to have any walls visible in their house because they’re going to want to frame them all!
