What an honor and blessing to have the opportunity to recreate my Parent's Wedding day for them in honor of their 60th Wedding Anniversary on February 2nd, 2018! Their love story is like none other! They have blessed their 4 daughters and thousands more, as they modeled what God's love looks like in their relationship. They have selflessly loved each other through many years of highs and lows, but grew stronger in their commitment towards each other. You are madly loved Mom & Dad by all of your children, grand children, great grand children and thousands more, whose lives you have touched. I'm thankful and honored for having you both as role models in my life, and so blessed by the love you have for each other!! This celebration was a team effort with so many contributing!! Special shout out to Hair stylist & long time friend: Rose Portera. My dear friend Abbie Bradley, for giving me the idea in the first place. Lisa Reibert for helping me hide and create the bridal bouquet. Tricia Hazen for the idea of which restaurant to take you to. Special shout out to AWESOME baker & friend, Mel Tardy for the gorgeous cake (and delivery of it)! Thanks to all the family for their financial contributions and support as well. This was a team effort!!
Wedding Day
This love story of these two is especially sweet as I've watched them grow in their love for each other. They truly seem to bring out the best in each other, which I love! It has been rainy here in Virginia for a month straight but the clouds parted for John & Melony's special day. Weather couldn't have been nicer! Low 70's and slightly overcast making it nice soft light. Here are just a few shots I captured . .
Engagement Session
Engagement session with Darling couple with an amazing love story! How I have loved watching this sweet couple meet, date and fall madly in love! They have brought out the best in each other and truly glow when they talk about the other one!! Can't wait to photograph their upcoming wedding!! Love you John & Melanie!
