"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 most wonderful thing I decided to do is to share my life and heart with you!”❣︎ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These two are celebrating 5 years since their love story began. When we were brainstorming about engagement photo locations, Sarah mentioned how much Max loved ‘Joe’s Italian Ice Cream’ and how it held a special place for them. Therefore, there was no need to search elsewhere because Joe’s was it! It was the perfect location. It was fun, colorful and sweet just like their personalities... also, you can never go wrong when ice cream is involved. Yum! 😋🍦 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy 5 year Anniversary, Sarah + Max! ❤️Looking forward to capturing more ⓈⓌⒺⒺⓉ memories for you both on your wedding day! ♥︎ . . . ➳ NOW BOOKING: 2019 + 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 #IEphotographer #OrangeCountyPhotographer #OCWeddingPhotographer #SanDiegoPhotographer #SoCalWeddingPhotographer #temeculaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #travelingweddingphotographer #palmspringsphotographer #lasvegasweddingphotographer #lasvegaselopementphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sandiegoengagementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #utahweddingphotographer #elopementphotographer #engagementphotographer #untamedlovestories #messyhairandcameraflares #happilyeverwild #loveherwildly #justanotherlovetale #wedventuremag #timelesscouples #happyanniversary #bridetobe #engagementshoot #engagementseason @engagedlife
“I vow to love all of you. Snoring included.” 😴🤪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love when couples decide to write their own vows. Great vows come from the heart, they are personal and a unique promise to your partner. As long as you’re honest and speak from the heart, your vows will be perfect because they’re yours! It’s also a fun way for your guest to get to know the Bride and Groom and their personalities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So tell us... what’s something original you said in your vows? Were your vows lighthearted or mushy? Or did you opt for traditional vows? We’d love to hear in the comments below. - CREATIVE TEAM: Coordination, Styling + Photography: @melissafechapmanphotography Planners: @melissafechapmanphotography + @graceandsoul.photography Venue: @owlcreekfoundations / @heathers_peek_at_owlcreek Bride + Groom: @rizzaangadol + @dktiu Florist: @ks_floral_concepts Hair + Makeup: @brides_grooms_by_jlo Bridal gown: @krustalloscouture Menswear: @stitchandtie / @friartux Calligraphy, Invitation Suite + Vow books: @samallencreates Furniture Rentals, Tableware and Lounge styling: @lepetitjardinvintage + @lpjstylist Cake: @mirandas_sweet_treats Macrame rentals: @kn0tty_by_nature Bartending: @dougsdrinks / @clarkescocktails ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #melissafechapmanphotography #IEWeddingphotographer #SouthernCaliforniaWeddingPhotographer #OrangeCountyPhotographer #OCWeddingPhotographer #SoCalWeddingPhotographer #temeculaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #travelingweddingphotographer #palmspringsweddingphotographer #lasvegasweddingphotographer #lasvegasphotographer #lasvegaselopementphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sandiegoengagementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #utahweddingphotographer #hawaiiweddingphotographer #elopementphotographer #engagementphotographer #temeculaweddings #lasvegasweddings #weddingdetails #weddingdaydetails #vowbooks #weddinginspirations
I have found the one whom my soul loves ♥︎ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I first met Monica + Alex during their wedding consultation, I learned that we all went to the same high school. What a small world to think we are now having the honor of documenting both of them exchange vows in a couple months. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are also super grateful that during their engagement session, there was a break in the clouds from the rain long enough for us to create and capture their sweet love for one another. 🙏🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 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 + 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 #IEphotographer #OrangeCountyPhotographer #OCWeddingPhotographer #SanDiegoPhotographer #SoCalWeddingPhotographer #temeculaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #travelingweddingphotographer #palmspringsphotographer #lasvegasweddingphotographer #lasvegaselopementphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sandiegoengagementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #utahweddingphotographer #elopementphotographer #engagementphotographer #earthcouples #untamedlovestories #messyhairandcameraflares #happilyeverwild #campfireandlovestories #loveherwildly #justanotherlovetale #wedventuremag #trueloveinspo #timelesscouples #missionsjc @engagedlife @she_saidyes
Self-confidence is the best outfit, rock it and own it. 🤘🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s always fun seeing the final product of a photo especially when it isn’t what it seems. During Dionna’s shoot there were cars honking at us, it was freezing cold and we were losing light quickly. Nonetheless, Dionna was super professional, and you would have never known she was freezing during this photo. 🥶 Dionna looked beautiful, fierce and rocked this shoot! . - Model: @xo.ddionna Hair + Makeup: @bridesbyjlo Dress: @aw.bridal Paper floral crown: @622flowers . . . ➳ NOW BOOKING: 2019 + 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 #SouthernCaliforniaWeddingPhotographer #OrangeCountyPhotographer #OCWeddingPhotographer #SoCalWeddingPhotographer #temeculaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #travelingweddingphotographer #palmspringsweddingphotographer #lasvegasweddingphotographer #lasvegaselopementphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sandiegoengagementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #utahweddingphotographer #hawaiiweddingphotographer #kansascityweddingphotographer #missouriweddingphotographer #elopementphotographer #engagementphotographer #temeculaweddings #lasvegasweddings #fortheloveoflight #lensespluslattes #besnapinspired #b1withlove
“Fill your life with adventures, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.” 💫 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Where are you traveling to this year? We’d love to hear in the comments below. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of my goals for 2019 is to travel and adventure more whether that be for personal travel or within my business by booking more destination weddings. I feel SO blessed to be able to combine my love for travel and my passion for photography and call this my “job.” 🙏🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have some travel plans planned this year and I couldn’t be more excited to see new places, meet new people and immerse in new cultures and take it all in and enjoy every moment. ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ New Year, New Moments, New Adventures, New Memories, New Lessons, New Challenges. Same Dream, Fresh Start, New Opportunities. ✦ - CREATIVE TEAM: Coordination, Styling + Photography: @melissafechapmanphotography Planners: @melissafechapmanphotography + @graceandsoul.photography Venue: @owlcreekfoundations / @heathers_peek_at_owlcreek Bride + Groom: @rizzaangadol + @dktiu Florist: @ks_floral_concepts Hair + Makeup: @bridesbyjlo Bridal gown: @krustalloscouture Menswear: @stitchandtie / @friartux Calligraphy, Invitation Suite + Vow books: @samallencreates Furniture Rentals, Tableware and Lounge styling: @lepetitjardinvintage + @lpjstylist Cake: @mirandas_sweet_treats Macrame rentals: @kn0tty_by_nature Bartending: @dougsdrinks / @clarkescocktails ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #melissafechapmanphotography #IEWeddingphotographer #SouthernCaliforniaWeddingPhotographer #OrangeCountyPhotographer #OCWeddingPhotographer #SoCalWeddingPhotographer #temeculaweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #travelingweddingphotographer #palmspringsweddingphotographer #lasvegasweddingphotographer #lasvegasphotographer #lasvegaselopementphotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sandiegoengagementphotographer #arizonaweddingphotographer #utahweddingphotographer #hawaiiweddingphotographer #elopementphotographer #engagementphotographer #temeculaweddings #lasvegasweddings
