Melanie + James are just too cute for words.
I continue to be humbled everyday by the sweet words from our clients and from others. Melanie was so excited to work with both of us, and the feeling was totally mutual. :D We love love love it when clients are so excited about their wedding and trust us to capture it in print!
Melanie’s personality and smile is totally infectious and she was so excited and bouncing up and down the whole time during the shoot. James is more reserved and is such a great guy, he totally balances out their happy duo in every way, and together, they are totally made for each other. :D

Let’s start this out with a favorite, shall we? :D

We started out at Maclay Gardens in Tallahassee. One of the most awesome-totally-rad things about our clients is that they trust us implicitly. It had just rained that day, and I brought along my wellies {just in case} we had to trek through any mud. We came upon spot where it was almost totally marsh, and Melanie + James didn’t bat an eye when I asked them to lay down in the mud (of course, we had plastic bags to put beneath them so they wouldn’t get all muddy. Genius, right?

Darts, anyone? ;) Those carny guys really know how to get you hooked. I think James spent $20 on that pink pig. But it was so sweet!!
