married :: mike + melissa

Just in time for Valentine's Day, a beautiful wedding!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails...

Mike and Melissa-I see so much love in the two of you and I am so honored that you invited me to be a part of your beautiful, wintry, wedding day. Chris and I wish you nothing but the best in the years to come! :)Congratulations to you both-so happy you found each other!



(side note: mike and melissa tied the knot at the very same church that my husband and I married in over 5 years ago!)




I love these flats. I love even more that they are actually ballet shoes!














Absolutely ADORED her dress-the back, being my favorite part!






Finishing touches...

It was freezing out, and there was a lot of snow to tromp through, but they were ALL troopers! Thank you, everyone!




beautiful melissa.


we did not have much time, but were still able to steal a few great photos of the two most important people of the day. Mike and Melissa-that is YOU!






Melissa's coat is perfect. Plus that muff is amazing!!




Happy. I love it.




Their happiness is contagious!




Time to celebrate with friends and family!










Mike and melissa love to read and they want everyone else to read too! Bookmarks as favors-cute idea!






There was something for everyone to keep busy...


And they snuck in the cake cutting!












I don't know who this guy is, but I like his style. He knows how to have a good time!
