Eric and Melissa had been together for over five years before they tied the knot this summer at the Oak Canyon Nature Center. Their long term relationship created their strong bond, united in love and formed out of friendship. Eric proposed to Melissa on Christmas Eve in front of both their families. It was so sweet to their families together to celebrate with them.
When it cam to planning their wedding, Melissa expressed to me how important it was to her to have a beautiful setting for where they said their vows. I am so happy they chose the Oak Canyon Nature Center in Anaheim for their ceremony. The lush trees and rustic stage created a fairytale-like serene setting. Along side their wedding party of 24 they became husband and wife surrounded by their family and friends and then headed out for their honeymoon in Italy.
Eric and Melissa, I am so happy for you two. I am so happy to call you friends. It was such an honor to photograph your Engagement Session and Wedding. You two compliment each other so well and seem to know just what the other is thinking. I pray your love continues to grow and flourish in your marriage.
Becoming a Mama has given me a whole new perspective and respect for all the moms who’ve come before me. People can tell you “it’s life changing”, but you don’t know what it’s really like until you’re in it.
My sweet Cali Rae brings us so much joy and sweetness. She melts my heart when she says: “hi, I love you”… “bootiful Mama”… “oh goodness”… and gives us hugs and smooshes! She can be a rollercoaster of emotion, wearing her heart on her sleeve - she reminds me how to live in the moment.
There’s something so timeless about black and white photos. 🤩
