I met Mellissa, Nick and their daughter Faith a long time before they were engaged. It was right when I started getting into Photography but before I even had a DSLR. She liked my pictures way back then and told me she might want me to do her wedding when they get married "someday". So, she had confidence in me before I ever did! She got back to me when Nick engaged to her and said the day had come to book me! I told her -- good news, I actually do weddings now! :) I am excited I stood out in her mind.
I took along the talented Bill Blakey who is going to shoot their wedding with me in June. Be sure to check out his site for when he posts some from this session.
We met up on Balboa Island and had fun walking around and finding cute spots, colorful gates and doors. Faith was a pro and gave us the best smiles. We all laughed and hit it off right away -- made me really excited for their wedding!
Here are some of my favorites....



I adored this purple fence and clear knobs....

Nick, Mellissa and Faith, cant wait to capture the big day in June!
