mr & mrs reilly!

every time we shot a wedding where lauren and devin were guests, she was sure to tell me, “still not engaged, but as soon as i am…you’ll know!!”

so needless to say, i’ve been waiting a few years to shoot this hottie in her wedding gown. the best part was when she told us she was bringing

us with her to hilton head island! heck yes, we will be there!!

she is one of 4 girls and they all have this huge, perfectly white, radiant smile. just gorgeous. how bout that silhouette!!we have kristen’s (sister to lauren’s right) wedding next summer. can’t wait!oh.my.word.lauren kept referring to devin as “groomzilla” because he was so heavily involved in the planning. well dude, you did a fantastic job!

after the ceremony we had a few minutes of gorgeous beach light. YUM!ridiculously cute.crazy how painterly that reflection was.all three sisters toasted. they had a bag of props and…well, you can see below what else!!! :-0

we are so so happy everything worked out for us to join you at your fabulous beach wedding! everything was gorgeous, especially the weather.

thank you for having us, we had a fun-tastic time! heart, melanie and adam.

the stewarts.

my good friends jess and cory just celebrated their 5 yr anniversary on friday. we have been photographing them over the years, with this

time marking cameron being 18 mths.

they’re the cutest little family, obviously.

cory is bringin’ sexy back to fatherhood.

jess is that girl who looks absolutely gorgeous ALL.THE.TIME. if you don’t believe me, then go back and look at her just after labor and

a csection, you’ll be impressed.

omg, i’ve never seen such full lips on a toddler!! he got those from his mama!

he looks so punk rock. love it.

my goodness, he’s so handsome. :) cameron was being shy for me, and the only way to get a smile was to throw him around. ha!

total mama’s boy.

the day after this session, i received a terrible text from jess regarding cory’s mom desperately needing prayers. unfortunately in

just a matter of days she went from healthy mom to their guardian angel, on mother’s day nonetheless. :( i hope you can muster up

some sort of smile when seeing these images guys. i love you and will continue to pray for peace in your hearts. xoxo.

heart, melanie.

ps. so glad i got some squeeze and play time with cam!!

happy mother’s day!

i guess it’s become a tradition to dress all the grandkids up alike and take a photo for nonni. after all, she’s the crazy one who literally will drive to

5 stores til she has all the correct sizes to make it happen. it’s worth it, they’re adorable! this year she gave them all the outfits for easter.

throwing her a curve ball now that she has to match a boy to the dresses! ha!

here we are! nico is 5mths, and nori is…ummm…2 and a quarter? yes, we match. i will not take credit. ;)

i figured we better get an updated shot of these two. love it. olivia is 1 and 3 quarters. :)

i hope everyone enjoyed their mother’s day! to all of our mom’s, step moms, grandmas, yada yada…we love you! :)

heart, melanie and adam.
