"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on camera is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. "

The tradition of a bride wearing "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue," comes from an Old English rhyme. Something old represents continuity; something new offers optimism for the future; something borrowed symbolizes borrowed happiness; something blue stands for purity, love, and fidelity. We love when Brides incorporate special customized details on their wedding day. Brides, what are some items you are incorporating towards this tradition? _ Planner: @winskiweddingsevents Photography: @melissafechapmanphotography Videography: @kayleedukefilm Photobooth: @californiaboothbus Catering: @colettescatering Florals: @lavishflowerss Hair + Make-up: @brides_grooms_by_jlo DJ: @djcesar_rey Cake: @samsammcustomcakes Calligraphy: @writingonthewalls Venue: @themuckenthalermansion . . . . ➳ NOW BOOKING: 2019 (Limited availability) + 2020 Weddings + Elopements ❣︎ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more information or to book a session, please email me at ➳ melissafechapmanphotography@gmail.com or visit my website at www.melissafechapmanphotography.com. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To view more photos and to show your support, please l i k e ➳ @melissafechapmanphotography on Facebook and f o l l o w on Instagram. 👍🏽 #melissafechapmanphotography #mfcbrides #temeculaweddings #OrangeCountyWeddingPhotographer #OCWeddingPhotographer #CaliforniaWeddingPhotographer #SoCalWeddingPhotographer #temeculaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #travelingweddingphotographer #intimateweddingphotographer #palmspringsweddingphotographer #lasvegasweddingphotographer #lasvegaselopementphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sdweddingphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #puertovallartaweddingphotographer #mexicoweddingphotographer #cancunweddingphotographer #wanderingweddings #destinationelopement #weddingdetails #weddingdaydetails #weddinginspiration #weddingtraditions #weddingmoments #engagementring #weddingring @engagelife⠀⠀⠀⠀ @she_saidyes

Throwback to this wonderful sunrise session and it’s got me thinking...how many of you eat breakfast in the mornings? I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day but I seem to skip it because I am always on the go. 🙈 I know I technically should be eating when I feed my kids but I feel I am always onto the next thing on my list. Do you eat breakfast and are there any easy breakfast recipes you guys are willing to share? 🥯🥞🍳🥛☕️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . ➳ NOW BOOKING: 2019 (Limited availability) + 2020 Weddings + Elopements ❣︎ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more information or to book a session, please email me at ➳ melissafechapmanphotography@gmail.com or visit my website at www.melissafechapmanphotography.com. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To view more photos and to show your support, please l i k e ➳ @melissafechapmanphotography on Facebook and f o l l o w on Instagram. 👍🏽 #melissafechapmanphotography #IEWeddingphotographer #OrangeCountyWeddingPhotographer #OCWeddingPhotographer #CaliforniaWeddingPhotographer #SoCalWeddingPhotographer #temeculaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #travelingweddingphotographer #intimateweddingphotographer #palmspringsphotographer #lasvegasweddingphotographer #lasvegaselopementphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sandiegoengagementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #utahweddingphotographer #sanfranciscoweddingphotographer #slcglam #boudoirinspiration #boudoirphotographers #boudoirphotography #boudoir #boudoirphotographer #bridalboudoir #somethingboudoir #outdoorboudoir #southerncaliforniaboudoir #southerncaliforniaboudoirphotographer
I love a good ring shot and photographing them! I always enjoy seeing the different variations of rings chosen by the Groom and it really gives you a peek into the couples sense of style. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What type of ring style do you love and why? Round, emerald, princess, cushion, halo, pear?

We had an amazing weekend celebrating my daughter’s 3rd birthday at California Adventure. She was in full Princess gear and sang at the top of her lungs during the Frozen musical. It literally brought tears to my eyes. Now I prepare full speed ahead for back to back weddings this weekend and next and I couldn’t be more excited! 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ T-minus one and a half weeks until these two tie the knot! Woohoo! 👰🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Looking forward to celebrating all our 2019 Brides and Grooms! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Congratulations Monica + Alex! 😍 We are so excited to see you two walk down the aisle and start your lives together as one. ❤️ . . . ➳ NOW BOOKING: 2019 (Limited availability) + 2020 Weddings + Elopements ❣︎ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more information or to book a session, please email me at ➳ melissafechapmanphotography@gmail.com or visit my website at www.melissafechapmanphotography.com. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To view more photos and to show your support, please l i k e ➳ @melissafechapmanphotography on Facebook and f o l l o w on Instagram. 👍🏽 #melissafechapmanphotography #mfcbrides #IEweddingphotographer #OrangeCountyWeddingPhotographer #OCWeddingPhotographer #SanDiegoWeddingPhotographer #SoCalWeddingPhotographer #temeculaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #travelingweddingphotographer #intimateweddingphotographer #palmspringsweddingphotographer #lasvegasweddingphotographer #lasvegaselopementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #utahweddingphotographer #elopementphotographer #engagementphotographer #beforethehitch #shootandshare #happilyeverwild #loveherwildly #justanotherlovetale #trueloveinspo #forthewildlyinlove #loveunleashedd #weddicious #iloveyouinthemorning #missionsanjuancapistrano #missionsjc @engagedlife @she_saidyes
“She is more precious than rubies” Proverbs 3:15 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ℋ𝒶𝓅𝓅𝓎 3rd ℬ𝒾𝓇𝓉𝒽𝒹𝒶𝓎 to my one and only firstborn daughter! 💗 She may look like her Daddy but she’s got my sassy attitude (times 💯), she is super sweet and petite but don’t let that fool you. She is tough and doesn’t let anyone push her around, she has the purest heart, the best smiles and has been one of [two] of my biggest blessings in my life. She is our little boss baby and the last puzzle piece 🧩 that completed our family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I believe God sent you into my life to give me something to fight for. To show me there is love in this world, to bring me hope and joy. All the proof of God I need, is in you, you are my gift from the heavens. 🙏🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Every year I look back and can’t believe how fast you’ve grown and what a wonderful little lady you have become. I am SO extremely proud to be your Mommy and SO blessed I get to see how God is working your amazing heart. 💕 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love you more than you will ever know! You [and your brother] are my heart and the reason I get up everyday and strive. I love you e t e r n i t y 😍 my beautiful baby girl, Happy 3rd birthday, Michaella Fe Roselyn Chapman! 🎂🎈🎁 - 📷: @cassidyskyephoto . . . . #melissafechapmanphotography #lifestylephotographer #lifestylephotography #familyphotography #familyphotographer #IEphotographer #OCphotographer #OrangeCountyPhotographer #SanDiegoPhotographer #SouthernCaliforniaPhotographer #SoCalPhotographer #Palmspringsphotographer #lasvegasphotographer #losangelesphotographer #besnapinspired #unconventionalphotogs #momtogs #magicofchildhood #childhoodunplugged #theartofchildhood #motherhoodunhinged #momswithcameras #theheartcaptured #candidchildhood #myhonestmotherhood #b1withgirls #happybirthday #birthdaygirl @childhoodunplugged @theartofchildhood @childrenseemagic @simplychildren @motherhoodunhinged
