Sometimes, like Rihanna would say, we find love in a hopeless place. Either that or we aren’t looking for love when it turns up right before our eyes. And sometimes when we don’t know it’s right before our eyes, love can grow over time. Let’s just say love works in very mysterious ways.
This is Melissa’s daughter Kendal. Fun fact about her? She plays fast pitch softball. Boom.
Melissa, I can see why Allen couldn’t let you get away. You are stunning!
Melissa and Allen opted to do the first look. It was a beautiful moment for the two of them to enjoy…
After we did the first look, we took some bridal party photos in the gorgeous walnut tree orchard.
This is Melissa’s daughter. It warms my heart SO much looking at the photo of Kendal and Allen. So much love š
THESE TWO! š
Last September I photographed Brittany and Laine’s wedding. Brittany was Melissa’s Maid of Honor and now she’s preggo!! So incredibly happy and excited for her and Laine.
Now back to these two lovebirds…
He makes her happy.
Loved Melissa’s pop of color choice š
Some detail shots…
Allen loves to hunt so they tied that into the details on the table.
Melissa arrived in a beautiful classic car…
After the ceremony, we HAD to get some photos with the car..
The reception was filled with laughter during the toasts and more love during their first dance, and a whole lotta fun!
One final image as the sun sets…
Melissa and Allen I cannot thank you enough for allowing me to be a part of your big day. It was such a blast and I wish you two all the best. -R
