Married! | Melissa + John| Scripps Forum, La Jolla

Melissa and John felt like old friends from the first time we met, which was reinforced at their engagement session and then again at their wedding. They’re good peeps, for sure: super laid-back, thoughtful and playful.

Both are finishing their PhDs at UCSD, Melissa in marine biology and John in chemistry (he just defended his dissertation! Go John!) so it was perfect that they get married at Scripps Seaside Forum, a part of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography on the UCSD campus. And their wedding was exactly that as they are as a couple: Melissa and John made it clear from the beginning that everyone at the wedding was extremely important to them and that they were there to celebrate their love and have a grand ol’ time with their friends and family….and they didn’t disappoint. The day was complete with home-brew made by John and his friends, a big dessert bar and tons of dancing and laughter. Oh! And how cool is this? The day before the wedding, they hosted a Couple’s Yoga session for all the out-of-town guests, which is featured at the beginning of the slide show. I must say, it was the loudest and most fun yoga session I’ve ever been to (and definitely the first I ever photographed!!).

Enjoy the sneak peek, Melissa and John! And congratulations!!
