You would have never known Melisa and James planned their wedding via emails and phone calls from Seattle! Every detail was unique and beautiful. The venue was perfect. The flowers (by Bentley Designs) were gorgeous. Lastly, the food was delicious! It was obvious James and Melisa put a lot of time into making their wedding personal (ie: coffee beans in flower arrangement) and special.
It was so important to Melisa that her grandmother be there for her wedding. Before the ceremony, she gave Melisa the engagement ring that Melisa’s mom had worn. It was very special.
After the ceremony, Melisa, James and I took a walk around Piedmont Park. We found many places for photographs- even a playground!
These disposable cameras were given to all of the kids to keep them busy. It worked! 
It was a little windy over the weekend, but I loved how Melisa’s veil kept blowing in the wind. Her nephew seemed to like it too!
I already have two cute boys posted, but, give me a break! How can you resist this face? He’s just way too adorable!
Before my finger presses the shutter button, I usually already know if that particular image will be best in color or black and white. This one was different. I’m still not sure, so I posted both. 
What do you think?
Thank you, Melisa and James for allowing me to share your day with you!
I LOVE the black and white. The color is beautiful, too, but the b/w is just CLASSIC! Great pics, as always!!!
I love the sneak peak at our pictures. I can’t wait to see the rest.
Absolutely GORGEOUS!
Wow..I am blown away. All the pics are great!!
I just dont know, now. I’ve looked at the color vs b/w a few times and the way the sun hits the trees is really something beautiful! I think i’d just have to have them both! 🙂
I love both pictures, can’t pick one from the other,,, so romantic and timeless ;-D
