Melissa & Dan: Married!

As she climbed into her chair, the hair stylist asked, “Now, what have you envisioned your hair to look like for your wedding day?” “I don’t really care,” Melissa said. And as her bridesmaids spoke in shock, “HOW CAN YOU NOT CARE?!” it was clear she only truly cared about one thing: making Dan, her love and best friend, her husband.

(Needless to say, Melissa looked stunning, and I know she gets it often, but she is totally Natalie Portman‘s stunt double, I swear.)

As I spent the morning with Melissa, I watched her breathe. In and out. In and out. Eagerly anticipating that first glance of her soon-to-be husband. Dylan shot with Dan and the guys, so I can’t say I was able to gauge Dan’s excitement level. But I can say this: The look on Dan’s face when he first saw his bride, was ultimately priceless. It was a look of completeness. A look of “THIS is who I’ve been waiting for my whole life.”

Okay, are you not instantly in love with this little girl?! Her name is Cadence. Just adorable!

Told ya.. Stunning!

Get ready for a few more shoe shots! Just love ’em.

Oh please, like you didn’t want to see these amazing blue eyes a second time!

So about shoe shots – it is muy importante to play around with a bunch of different locations and placements of the shoes. It yields so much fun and creativity. I couldn’t pick which of Melissa’s shoe shots I liked most, which is why they are all here. :)

The face. Overjoyed.

Classic beauty, that Melissa.

Dylan and I could not get enough of this awesome ride!

FAVE.

Melissa and Dan took the birdseed like a champ!

To Dan and Melissa: Thank you SO much for including us in your big day! Your love for each other is so obvious. I’ve been waiting to post so I could include you guys in my new blog. I hope it was worth the wait!! Love to you both! XOXO.
