Melissa and Kevin are among the many couples who had to reschedule their wedding from 2020 to this year! I have to say that I have been looking forward to this wedding for a while! Melissa and Kevin are so fun to be around and are adorable together!


The wedding was held at the Parque at Ridley Creek. I have never been there before but am always so excited when I get the opportunity to photograph at new places. It gets our creative juices flowin!


We started off in the bridal sweet with Melissa and her gal's getting ready. Capturing all the details and the moments leading up to the first look and the I do's. These ladies were so fun to hang out with all morning!


From the first look through the I do's and further into the night you can see just how much love is pouring off of both Melissa and Kevin! I know it's been a long wait but Congratulations to both of you!


Everything was beautiful and I couldn't be more thankful to be part in your big day!
