Weddings

I love when couples really personalize the wedding celebration to their own tastes.  Courtney and Jim did exactly that.  They made their own home brew for a cocktail hour they shared with guests before the ceremony, they had couples married for varying lengths stand up and give them advice during the ceremony, Courtney wore a gorgeous tea-length dress, and they topped the whole thing off with pies in place of the traditional cake!  Neverland Farms was the perfect setting for their laid-back family event! 

The sun cast amazing golden light on the couple during the ceremony…

and these images of the wedding party are too much fun not to share! :o)

Thanks for looking!

Courtney and Jim – Your joy on this day was overflowing and contagious!  Thank you for letting us capture it for you!

– Mel and Sean

You might remember Claire and James from their engagement session in Italy.  This past Saturday, their wedding day finally arrived and it was such a pleasure to be a part of it!  Stunning Bride + Handsome Groom + Gorgeous Wedding = Happy Happy Photographers. :)

Claire and James, we’ve enjoyed you both more than you know!  Thank you for sharing your lives with us!

Special thanks also to the wonderful Karen Kaforey of Signature Events!  Your attention to detail made the whole event run smoothly and for a memorable experience for all!

We got home late last night from a great trip to Minnesota.  We got to spend time with my grandparents at my Grandpa’s childhood home, Sean finally met my aunt Kathy and uncle Lynn, and we were able to stop in to see the Bailey Clan (Sean’s cousins) on our way home.  I’m feeling well rested and ready to tackle all of the work waiting for us here at home!  First though, I have to share Eric and Christina’s wedding from a couple of weekends ago with you… 

Love, joy, tears, laughter…  Eric and Christina’s first moments together on their wedding day were some of the sweetest I have seen!  Beautiful friends, can you get more adorable? :o) 

Congratulations to the lovely couple!  We love you guys!
