I (Adam) have personally known Melanie since she was a freshman at Deer Valley High School. I was her math teacher. What an amazing opportunity to see a young woman grow up, meet the man she’s going to marry, Jonathan, and then get to not only celebrate along side them but capture their story in photographs. They’re both band geeks from their high school days. That’s how they met: band competitions. Mel went to Deer Valley; Jonathan to Maryvale High School. Local Phoenicians through and through. We were incredible honored by them: they wanted us to be a part of their day so badly that they changed their wedding date because we were already booked the day they were planning on! We were blown away. We’ve gotten to hang out as more than client and vendor, but as deep friends who will continue to be connected for years to come. They even have come over and joined our family dinners and then stayed long into the evening chatting and truly living in community with us. We are so blessed to call Melanie and Jonathan friends.
