Melissa and Charlie got Married

...on a lovely day in June. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and things were bustling at the beautiful Memorial Christian Church. The girls were busily putting on the finishing touches; laughing, chatting and snapping pictures. All of the meticulous planning was done and the day-of getting ready process was relaxed and happy.








The lush greenery made an absolutely perfect background for those gorgeous purple dresses

Workin' it!

The guys looked great, too. 
                                       


 There were so many pretty details to capture


It was hard to stop taking pictures of the Bride's shoes. They were just awesome.

Almost time!

The church looked magnificent and was filled to the brim with family and friends


A first look at his beautiful bride as she's escorted down the aisle by her father






The colors all came together so elegantly. It was a truly lovely service.





Notice the Best Man's reaction!

 

                                      



 Their expressions in these next two are so sweet




The reception venue looked fantastic! Sparkling lights, colorful flowers and happy faces all around.  Tresca was really glorious that night!












This was a first: the Bride tossed the bouquet INTO the chandelier. It went up and never came back down!




                                     The dance floor stayed packed, the whole night through





The newlyweds made their grand exit through a sparkling shower of birdseed and glitter



                                                      And the final picture of the evening...
My sincere thanks, to the Bride and her Mom for choosing me to play a part in your very lovely and lively wedding day. I've been so grateful for the opportunity to work with you and your terrific family and friends. May God bless the new Mr. and Mrs. in all their journeys through life!

That was fantastic! That wedding cake was gorgeous and I love you shot of it!!! Have you ever notice all bouquet stories are funny! I knew who I wanted to catch mine...It was a girl I worked with that claimed she'd never remarry...We had to drag her up there practically...So I slung that thing as hard as I could her way...cept a little high...Well when the pics came back it caught her in full stretch, mouth open wide, reaching for the stars to catch that thing...What made it so funny is I took this picture to work after I heard her saying, "Well I caught it because she threw it right in my arms and about knocked me out with it!" We gave her a hard time forever about that...She was a good sport ;o)...And...Actually the one to get married next! Good times!
