Ya’ll ready for this? (insert 2 unlimited voice)
This wedding was not only super gorgeous but it was FUN from the minute I walked in to the moment I left. Ted is like “good time Ted” he will make sure everyone around him has a Miller Lite in hand and a big smile on his face. His nervous energy came out in dance, and it was ALL DAY LONG. Melissa, so intoxicating! Fun, gorgeous, confident, and ready for action. These two are the meaning of the word “power couple”. But it wasn’t all just fun, the loss of a very important guest was heavy in the air. Beautiful tributes filled the day from a photo on the bouquet to a song during the ceremony, to toasts and speeches and first dance. A testament to the couple’s perseverance and strength. 2020 has brought some major curveballs, but I feel like every couple I encountered showed who they are inside with grace and joy. How beautiful will these marriages be?

This wedding was so well thought out which I really appreciate and love, down to the parking….parking on the third ward?! Yes. That is how thoughtful this wedding was. We started at the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel, gorgeous for getting ready and rooftop first look. Then strolled around town looking for some space to get wedding party photos. Then onto a sweet downtown venue The Black Swan, Plant 4, Their party was fun, the dresses (Jumpsuit!!) was fun, the shades, the suits, all of it. I had an excellent second shooter Kelsey, with who was a master of editorial shots, which makes for an amazing gallery for the couple! You will see some of her shots below.
