Mr. & Mrs. Larke!

Posted in Weddings.4 comments

A lovely spring wedding!

Ladies worked it…

And so did the dudes.:)

I loved watching their love.

When I was doing my first round of editing I got to the shots taken around the time of the one on the right. I was very confused because

Adam was in front of them which means there should have been only one angle from directly behind, where I was standing. I was looking at

a series of shots in and out of focus and compositon that neither of us would shoot. THEN when I got to the shots of them walking towards

Adam he happened to catch the groomsmen off to the left next to where I was. Busted was the guy holding my camera to his eye!

BAHAHAH. Mystery solved. Well done whichever groomsman you are!;)

That’s-allota-peeps!

I went to high school with Courtney and grew up with a couple of the bridesmaids. Some remember Linds as the “Can factory bride.“

This dress was made for your body Courtney!!

The second after Adam took this shot the guys burst into laughter.:)

Shameless plug of our friend Brenda and her vocal cords. Need a wedding vocalist?? Email me for her deets! She’s amazing.

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Larke!

I loved hearing the stories about you guys in medical school (she’s already a Dr. and he will be soon!) and your early love. I hope your

transition to living together in Colorado goes wonderful! Good luck with the new position too! Congrats! Heart, Melanie and Adam.

Ellen & Matty.

Posted in engagement.10 comments

I had an absolute lovely time with this couple. I know about 50% of my clients personally which makes them relaxed from the start. So

when I shoot complete strangers, I expect a little bit of an awkward start. (My college professor actually told us that back in the day,

photogs pretended to shoot but film wasn’t acutally even loaded til 20 min in because they knew the first couple rolls would be trashed

anyway. Interesting, eh?) These two were immediately in sync with me. I just loved that! This was my second shot!:)

Uhhhhhhhhh. GorGEOUS!

Matty knows how to make her giggle in a split second. So sweet.

At our consultation they asked about doing a stylized session, which is something I never do. I told them if they got all the props etc

together I was happy to play along! The blooms were the perfect touch!

That curl takes this image from beautiful to perfect.

HAHAHA. Matty brought his walking stick that he won with like 50,000 tickets in an arcade in Gatlinburg. Turned out to be quite handy

on a steep hill!

I love shooting couples who show me their true personality. After all, you want your images to reflect YOU!

Thanks for being up for anything you guys! I had fun! Heart, Melanie.
