Melanie & Joe, Married 9-19-09

I just need to preface this post by saying I could have easily posted every single image from the day on the blog! Geesh it was hard to narrow down, there are many many more where these and the slideshow images came from. I just hope the ones I choose do it justice.

Let me start by giving you all of Melanie and Joe's vendors that made their day so beautiful.
Venue & Cake: Nomandy Farm
Flowers: Petals Lane, Brittany always does an amazing job.
Dress: Casablanca, Melanie incorporated a few custom touches as well.
Photobooth: Party Booths
Band: DAME, they always rock the house!
Video: Marc Smiler, Marc did their love story which you can see here.
Make-up: Pasha Cosmetics by Pam Fox
Second Shooter: The one and only Miss Linette! Thank you so much darling! I love having Linette out shooting with me, you will see lots of here photos here too. She got to hang with the boys before the ceremony.
If you want to take a peek back at their engagement session go here.

We will start off with the bouquet. You will notice the detail of the humming bird. The hummingbird has a special meaning to this family. After the passing of Melanies great grandmother a hummingbird started coming around very frequently. The hummingbird seems to visit her family in the most perfect and sometimes strangely coincidental times. It serves as a reminder that they have loved ones always looking down on them. I thought it was a fantastic addition.

Melanies Mom had all of her things strategically laid out for her. I just love this one with the reflection of her dress and the shoes on the dresser.

Beautiful Melanie

The boys huddling in.

Joe excited on the way to the church.

Check out Mel and her ride to the church!
It's all sinking in! Dad is giving his daughter away! Ahh!

The ring barer pillow, so unique.

I love catching little moments with the children.




Married!!

I like to do fun active stuff with my bridal parties, you will see those in the slideshow, I love these candids Linette caught.

One of my favorites. We did portraits at the most perfect time of the day. Not to mention this was the most beautiful day in September!


I think this proves that Joe will do anything, and I mean anything for Melanie.



The car was awesome!




I loved their first dance too. Definitely showed off their individualism, the song in the slideshow is what they danced to.

Love this and check out how ripped Melanie is! Nice muscle tone girl!

I am already wishing I put more images in the slideshow, I know I left out a lot. Their slideshow could have easily been a five minuter if I could do more than one song.
I have to mention that Melanie did such a great job planning out the timing of the day. Not only did we get the very best light of the day but we had plenty of time for all the formals and for their portraits. We were not rushed in any way. We even finished ahead of schedule and they got to attend most of their cocktail hour. It was perfect.

You guys are great. You already know how much fun we had with you. Its been such an amazing experience. Thank you for making me feel so warm and welcome the whole time.
Enjoy your slideshow, I apologize for the one little hiccup in there.
I can't seem to get rid of it.
