Last year, I received an e-mail from a fellow photographer and mother of a newly engaged daughter getting married. Jill's words meant so much to us and we just knew we had to be apart of Melanie and John's wedding. Melanie and I chatted over the phone, through e-mails about her engagement to John, and all the future wedding details to come. I immediately felt as though we were friends and I was excited to personally get to meet Melanie and her new fiance John for engagement photos. We checked both our schedules and it seemed we just were not able to find time to photograph engagements. We would just have to meet the day of the wedding. The second I met Melanie, I knew the day would be calm and smooth. Melanie and John's sweet sweet hearts remind me really why I LOVE photographing weddings.
I cannot say enough good things about Melanie and John and both their families. Stephen and I felt so welcomed and loved that it didn't even quite feel like we were working a job. We felt like we were a part of their ceremony and we were friends partaking in the celebration. The ceremony and reception were held at the Bakersfield Museum of Art.
Melanie and John, thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your friendship and marriage. I can't wait to photograph you both next year again! To see a slideshow of the wedding day, please click HERE.
I definitely started tearing up as I watched Melanie and John's first glance. I love this photo because Melanie simply was breathless as she saw John.
I love these two shots Stephen took.
We headed over to the The Padre Hotel for some wedding portraits before the ceremony.
John, you are HANDSOME!
On the way back to the venue, we stopped on a side road to take a few outside photos.
The ceremony was TOO sweet! I loved watching them both tear up as they looked at each other.
The cake was amazing. I loved the cake topper. Perfect for the both of them!
Melanie, you are seriously the most beautiful girl inside and out.
I love this shot of Melanie as she listens to her maid of honor and best friend give her speech.
