 Hi friends! I know, I know... It’s been a while - I’m not very good at this whole blog thing but I do post when I can and I sure do love to show off amazing couples! Melissa and Connor’s wedding is my first official wedding OF THE WEDDING SEASON! You know, that time of year when EVERYONE is getting married? Yep, we are knee deep in weddings but I love every second of it! Enough about me, let’s learn more about Melissa and Connor since they’re the guests of honor right now :) I first received an email from Melissa over a year ago, and I could tell right away that this girl was going to be my bride BFF. We share a love for coffee and all things design! When we had our phone consultation, we must’ve talked for over an hour and a half - that’s how you know there is a great photographer-couple connection! At the time, Connor and Melissa were living in the Richmond VA area so we didn’t have a chance to meet until January of this year (see their engagement session HERE). Well, my goodness, meeting them is like a breath of fresh air! They are such a ‘go with the flow’ type of couple and totally up for anything I was willing to do! We’d keep in touch through the months leading up to their big day. On the day of their wedding, the weather was... well, it didnt know what it wanted to do! It was supposed to call for clouds all day but instead, it decided to have spurts of rain, then sunshine, then clouds, then rain again. Nonetheless, it was still such a magical day for both of them! I came into the bridal suite to see Melissa and her girls, Melissa seemed so calm and just ready to start her day! You can tell family is super important to Melissa and Connor; every aspect of their day revolved around family; from pieces of jewelry, to centerpieces made by her I grandmother, not to mention both sides of the family are so welcoming you couldn’t help but FEEL the love between them all! Without further ado, here are some snippets of Melissa and Connor’s emotionally romantic wedding day, enjoy!:

Melissa and Connor will become the happiest couple ever! Looking at their photos, you can tell how much they love each other. This is a good thing because newly wed couples are supposed to be the happiest during the first phase of their marriage. The theme of their wedding was also dreamy, I really like it! Beach wedding at a brand daylight is somehow irritating to skin. But who cares? It could be the happiest day for the both of them! Leave a Reply. |
