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.
Last month I had the pleasure of assisting the lovely Kimberlee West at a wedding in Orange County.
The day was beautiful, the bride was even more gorgeous and it all went smooth! Well, except for the ring bearer pulling the fire alarm minutes before the ceremony was to start! The bride laughed and thought it was on purpose! I mean, the groom is a fireman after all, it would be too perfect! But it was a coincidence and the church ladies were able to call off the fire dept. before they arrived!
The stunning Leah!
A fun shot of Kimmee in action! Check out her blog to see more photos from the day!
The culprits 😉
Calm and ready.
Leah surprised Dustin with recording a song of her singing as she walked down the aisle. I don’t think I spotted a dry eye in the house!
After the ceremony, we ran off to The Montage Resort. It was my first time there and I hope not my last!
Not quite sure what it is about this image, but its my favorite of the day!
Leah was a laugher! The best kind of bride ;0)
Y-M-C-A!
Thank you for bringing me along Kimmee, I had such a blast with you!
xoxo, M
Stunning couple and beautiful photos Melissa! Those little culprits are too cute. Your favorite of Leah and Dustin is out of this world. 🙂
Another fabulous job! 🙂
What a pretty bouquet! I love the colors.
Beautiful! The shot of her going down the isle is gorgeous, I love the bouquet and dresses together, and yes, I do love your fave too – there certainly is something about that photo 🙂
I love that shot in front of the tiled fish!
I also have to add that you were in my hood and the Montage is where Jason proposed… AND I went to high school with Dustin, although I doubt he remembers me.
Beautiful shots, Mel! Looks like they had a fun reception!
Beautiful images! I especially love the romantics of them alone together after the wedding. 🙂
