When Melissa first told me about her and her fiancé Richard’s dogs, I seriously couldn’t believe it. It’s the kind of thing that only happens in movies (especially the Disney kind). You see, together they have two dogs, Sam and Sully. They’re something like 15 days apart in age, one’s a golden doodle and one’s a labradoodle, one’s a boy and one’s a girl, and they’re the best of buds. The catch? Richard got Sam and Melissa got Sully before they had ever even met each other. How’s that for a bit of romantic fate?
Luckily for Sam and Sully, Melissa and Richard fell in love, and now they’re becoming a happy little family of four. (I’d be willing to bet they’re not planning on welcoming a jillion puppies into their home though, so let’s not get our hopes up. ;) ) These two are getting married this September at American Village, and I can’t wait for what will surely be a day full of laughter and love. Seriously, though… I don’t think we stopped laughing during the entire session. Richard is hilarious, and when they get each other going, their energy just sucks you in. I almost wish I could have videoed the session just to prove it to you. But hopefully the photographs will do them justice. :)
Enjoy!
And here are the famous Sam and Sully!
Stop it with the cuteness!
Richard insisted that we do a silly photo, and after his first idea got immediately shut down by Melissa, he settled for this: (love it!)
