Our troops hold a special place in my heart and I have so much respect for couples that are involved in the military! We’ve worked with the troops in Operation Gratitude, and it was an amazing opportunity! When bride to be Leah sent over their engagement session I absolutely died over it! The couple decided to commemorate Robert’s military career and took their pictures at The North Island Amphibious Base in San Diego. Robert is an instructor pilot and is stationed in San Diego, and is deploying to Afghanistan in August for an entire year. While he is gone Leah is left to plan their October ’12 wedding all by herself! Ely Roberts captured the the couple and their love so beautifully! How special to not only capture the couple before their big day, but also capture who they are at this moment in time.
