ITTTSSSS AAAAAA……..

and i thought i was ecstatic. :)

:) AND WE’RE PRETTY DANG HAPPY ABOUT IT :)

(the ultrasound went really well too! everything looked perfect! God is good.)

love the proud parents of a wittle girl! melanie and adam! yaaaaay!

mr. & mrs. sutton!!

after the careful placement of each hair…jen’s hair was finally finished. :) it was worth the wait girl!

adam’s fav.

i set up a lil make up station downstairs to give jen some personal time and space. the heat and

amount of people were getting a little overwhelming upstairs, so i kinda forced her to get away. :)

i didn’t want to add anymore unnecessary stress to her day!

the guys had a really stressful morning of golfing. HA. WHATEVER! and i just want to say, thank you

cory, for making my husband finally start a wedding day BEFORE me!! that never happens! lol

i think the most stress cory had all day was missing this putt! OUCH! lol ;)

i wish we had more than 30 seconds for the parasol shot. it’s still really cute, but this was my first

opportunity with them so i had to think fast.

lil man.

fully equipped with canes, gloves, top hats and tails!

pretty awesome adam :)

when jen met with me she told me about the guys tuxes and how she was considering monocles

and mustaches. i said ‘YESSS DO IT!’ thanks for being fun!

what’s up hotties?!

do not pass go. do not collect $200. baaahahahaha. i heart you tom, even when you look like mr. creepo.

yay! we’re married!

well, this might have been a little stressful too.  lucky for him, tom had a ‘get out jail free’ card in his pocket. :)

GET HIM JEEENNN!

i love this. maybe bc the jen and angie are SO dang quiet and reserved? then all the sudden THIS girl

appeared at the reception?! i want to see this jen more often! holy cow!

melanie’s favorite.

are you whispering ’sweet nothings’ in his ear?

OH MY GOD! emily, the one CLEARLY demanding the bouquet to fall into her hands, is their unmarried cousin.

poor nate, i’m sorry this picture made it a little bit more real how much emily might actually be ready for

that ring! lol. (emily taught spanish at my school…so i got to know her over the past school year:-D)

if it’s predicting rain or actually raining on a wedding day, i always say the same thing. ‘God always gives me a window of

at least 20 minutes to knock it out. no worries we will make it happen!’ this day was no exception. it rained all day as

the girls prepared and i just kept lookin’ out the window with confidence saying, it has to stop at some point, it will!!  and i’ll tell

ya what, God always comes through. just as jen was finishing her last touches, the sky cleared, we ran out…worked super quick…

as i was saying ‘we got the basics’, it started to drizzle again…lol. and THEN as if that wasn’t cool enough…it rained all the way

until the ceremony ended. but it stopped again as we got in the limo and we had another window to get some full

wedding party shots and some of just jen and cory.  and stormed during the reception! how lucky were we?

the two met at kent state, and they still live up there. now they are both special ed teachers. how cool, right?

cory, though it was only the second time we met, yer a pretty cool dude…and not so shabby lookin either ;) i played soccer with

jen yeeears ago, which is how i came to know her and her sister angie (who i’m now good friends with).  turns out when you

get rid of the shorts, cleets and sweat…these girls are pretty dang gorgeous!! thanks for having us be part of your

day guys! we had a lot of fun. your bridal party was a bunch of goofs, WHICH we love! and your reception

was rockin. thanks for your patience on the blog! heart, mel and adam.

feeling overwhelmed?

we are! lol. i know it’s bad when i have to make a to do list because we are so busy. and the problem is, you

have to be home to edit, and we cant seem to make that happen! SO, i just wanted to post a little,

‘dont worry, your pretty face will be on the blog soon’ to the following clients:

*the suttons (within the next couple days…i promise!)

*nicki and brandon

*the Dauds

*kevin, erica and baby matt

*the Grubers

*liz, tyler and alaina (she’s two!)

other than just building these blogs… we are processing 5 weddings (with galleries), 4 portrait sessions and two wedding albums.

BREEEEATHE. we appreciate your patience, we love you for it.

ps. if you aren’t friends with me on facebook then you didn’t see my status last night. um, how cool is it that we had FIVE of our brides present at the wedding? we think that’s pretty cool.

for now i’ll leave you with a shot of my bump, my bump..my little baby bump…check it ooout.. ;)

–this was two weeks ago. i’m 18 weeks now!! holy cow!–


did you know we find out the sex on THURSDAY?!?!? stay tunnnned :)

i did record the baby’s heart beat on my phone at the last visit. if i had the time i’d upload it and share…maybe later. lol.

peace. mel and adam

becky and rick.


adam’s favorite #1

becky is a woman of neutral colors. well, are neutrals considered colors? we met at their house to help them pick out wardrobe and

literally in a massive walk-in closet there was, black…more black…white and brown. i think i had a pain in my chest while looking at this

disgrace! lol. with her beautiful complexion, and brown eyes and hair?! i said, where are your blues? and PINKS? these colors would

look amaaazing on you!!  she laughed and said ‘because of you, i did buy this tank top but i dont know if i like it on me.’ i said, ‘PUT

IT ON NOW! you are wearing it! it looks perfect!’

rad.

did i mention that together these crazies run marathons…triathlons..you name it. actually, they did a triathlon the morning of

the shoot!! hence their TIGHT bodies :)

melanie’s favorite.

love this … and becky, promise me you will wear color more often, it looks so good on you!! (you do however, look good in anything!)

wooo wooo!

may or may not have been illegal to be here. :-D

a. this is the first time we shot in pitch black. b. first time a girl has ever gotten so fancy. totally cool!

adam’s favorite #2

i love when the guy just kisses his girl spontaneously.

personally i think this should be your save the dates! rick, yer a goof. becky, i love that you love him even more because of that!

i met becky through a good friend of mine, jess. becky and jess were roomates on a mission trip to south africa. i heard nothing but great

things about her and this ‘disgustingly cute and romantic boyfriend’ of hers, rick. ;) through our church we recently had a prayer group that

met each week and i finally got to know becky! rick lived in columbus at the time so i did’nt get to hang with him unfortunately. when i finally

got to meet rick, in walks this curly shag, tall, good lookin’ guy. immediately i said, “NICE becky!:)” lol. i must admit, though he was sweet talked

into getting it cut for the session, the curly shag was what made adam and i say, this dude must be awesome. ha. i’m not joking.

anywho, the two lovebirds are getting hitched next summer in puerto rico. THOUGH THEY BOOKED ANOTHER PHOTOG(!!!) before they

heard about us, i wish them the most beautiful ceremony ever!! i already know from hanging out that they will have a long and happy life, no doubt.

you guys rock. the session was a breeze because you were so natural and HOT! you might get the award for the longest e-session ever.

we just couldn’t put our cameras down! lol peace and love to you. heart mel and adam.
