Marissa & Eddie : Anytime Session at The Pearl Hotel in San Diego

Anytime

I’ve started and stopped writing this blog introduction a thousand times. I just can’t find the words to describe Marissa (and her sweet husband Eddie). She’s an amazing friend, photographer, wife, sister & daughter. She pours herself wholly and completely into her relationships. She loves in a way that’s deeper and fuller than most people I’ve witnessed in my life. She has the cutest laugh in the world. She has the most perfect skin too, and I hate her for that. And she and Eddie are 100% meant to be together. It sounds SO lame, but they totally complete each other. I loved witnessing their little glances & sweet gestures towards each other in this shoot. I had such a fun time hanging with my friend Harmony while both of us got to photograph these two. I was having a really tough time healing physically from some stuff I went through last fall, & was worried that none of my photos would look good/turn out (I shot it on all film & was literally a hot mess, but it was my last time seeing them and GOSH DARNET I was not missing it for the world!!). Thus when I got my film back I was SO floored and excited. I absolutely love these images!

Love you so much Marissa, and hate that you now live so far away. Hate to know that you’re roughing it over in Hawaii ;)
