We always talk about loving to work in our own backyard and Melissa and Josh's wedding at Scout Rock in Oakland reminded us why. The property has a lovely home and so many beautiful spaces sprinkled throughout the grounds. Even better, Scout Rock is just in Montclair, right off Highway 13. Who knew?! Melissa and Josh both got ready on the property and then held a sweet ceremony, complete with a lemon tree planting. Afterwards we rolled into the rest of the evening and really enjoyed ourselves shooting away as folks had fun connecting and wishing the couple well. Thanks to Mélodie and her crew over at and something blue everything went smoothly.
We can't wait to shoot more at Scout Rock in the future and want to wish Melissa and Josh all the best.
