Melinda and Joe's Wedding Villa Salcedo

When I first met Mel and Joe for their engagement photos, they flew down from California and we had 20 minutes for their shoot. I was a bit nervous at first knowing we had zero time, but the fact is they were naturals, they were completely at ease being them in front of me, with a camera and a huge lens in their faces. It ended up being a terrific shoot and now I was only more excited to know I would be part of their wedding day!! Joe and Melinda's wedding was a most memorable one indeed!! I want to start by saying I have been blessed with having the most amazing clients. Warm hearted, loving and nothing like the Bridezillas that I prepped myself for!! There is always a very special energy at weddings where laughter is pure and kisses are sweet. I love being there for these amazing moments and I am always reminded of how very special love is. When Melinda first laid eyes on Joe it was at a bonfire, and as he sat and watched the fire, she knew he was the one. I cut the story shot a bit but it included something about "that boy is gonna be trouble for someone" . Needless to say here we are, their wedding day. Thank you again Melinda and Joe!!
