i adored meeting ashlie & anthony…we went to a beautiful family farm (what a treat!!) and of all the images, this one probably tied as a favorite because it speaks of holding those you love close. there’s something incredibly sweet and unassuming about these two and they seem perfectly content with one another’s company. ashlie...
i see a few more weddings than the average person, i’d guess ;) and amongst the most stunning, will always be this one. soaked in beauty from the first moment to the last. kristin & adam, so impressed with the way you gather your friends and family to celebrate life’s incredible occasions! warmly, -melanie-

happy spring! we’re enjoying the longer days with walks in the evening, gardening adventures & general spring fun! it’s so nice to pop in with a hello and share a wedding we love! I was immediately taken with summer, she’s a jewelry *and* interior designer with impeccable style and her firm was involved in...
we are so incredibly touched by the recent feature of megan & jesse’s dreamy wedding at the inn at palmetto bluff on classic bride (a wonderful style resource for brides to be). put this inn on your list of places to go! as i scouted the property the day before, i was stunned by the...
having a beautiful monday and sending wishes for the same to you! warmly, -melanie-
time, indeed,
is a sacred gift, and each day is
a little life.

what fun it is to share these weddings with you and reminisce a bit about the day! megan & mike delight me – i remember filling a lunch tote with ice packs because the weather was supposed to be so hot (and they did in fact come in handy for the groomsmen!) but more than...
yay, more wedding posts! kristen & kyle (as well as their respective families) are a-m-a-z-i-n-g! this day was a dream and i feel fortunate that years down the road as they look at their images, they’ll have the imprint of affection i have for them as a couple in each one. warmly, -melanie-

friends, i’ve missed writing here more often..as we were working on the new blog, i hesitated posting too much on the old one since we weren’t sure we’d be able to import the posts (and who wants to leave cute photos behind?) but now that we’re up & running, i’m so excited to chat more...
i was a little weak in the knees over emily’s great boots & silk top! we were lucky enough to have an unseasonably warm day to shoot and i loved getting to know them, see how they interacted…how happy they are to be together!
i fell in love with emily (who couldn’t – she’s sweet as...
there’s so much to share…i’ve been having the best time working on proofs as of late. and the sessions have made me over-the-top-happy…i feel really fortunate to have the view of the world i do. this week i literally had to pinch myself. the blog is so behind…ie: 30+ sessions of goodness behind! will you...
i was laughing all the way through this session because chris is nothing short of hilarious! it’s fun to see who a bride picks to spend forever with, and casey is going to have a terrific life with lots of laughter! i think i’m going to unpack their uhaul so they don’t move to texas.
among...
so happy to introduce you to jenny & brad…i adore the sensibilty of this couple. elegant, classic, sweet and generous beyond compare – i definitely feel fortunate that the work i do allowed our paths to cross. even at the start of the day as jenny arrived at the church with a blue button down...
oh julia and jake, i’m far from talented enough to express how lovely your wedding celebration was. i love that you wrote the thoughts of your heart that day in a journal, and that so many people in your family shared something wonderful (a reading, a piece of music or in the case of your...
Hi there! My name is Katherine Greene-Owens, new mmp production manager and one of Melanie’s 2007 bridal clients.
I absolutely adore weddings (yes, I am married—still buying wedding magazines), and am thrilled to share with you parts from my wedding that I hope you will find both useful and inspirational.
The Wedding Stamp: Make a Fabulous...
without a doubt, one of the dreamest weddings ever! chelsea had incredible boots (handmade in spain where she'd been living prior to the wedding) and fun unexpected pops of great personal style (like the fur bolero). she got ready in the guesthouse on her father's farm with all her best friends and family – i...
a favorite wedding of 2008 – kerri photographs weddings herself so when she asked me to photograph her intimate ceremony in a tiny stone chapel in rural indiana i was blushing. it’s so nice to walk into a wedding day, meet a couple for the very first time in this case, and hope to photograph...
these two are
a-w-e-s-o-m-e…michelle & jay seemed to just glide through the entire day
smiling so big from seeing all the people the loved!
they are so close to
their parents…they double-date, play golf together…and that closeness was
evident on their faces. So touching…and
the reception was so filled with glamour!
Great attention to the event design/lighting and they knocked it...
la-la-love these two…from the moment i met them. and can't wait for their wedding this june! casual portrait sessions like this help everything on the actual wedding day be 'smooth as silk'…as a client, you know a bit of what to anticipate whilst being photographed and i get to see how you interact as a...
i'm so happy that you
finally get to see lauren & barrett's wedding!! these past few months have been such a
whirlwind and wedding posts take time to compose so proofing and orders took
the front seat for a while but i'm so happy that there's a little space today
to get this posted.
as a couple, these
two are...
an incredible couple – so in love but also so steady…love can be so intoxicating, it can blur our view of everything except the one we're focused on and yet the sense i got from these two was that it helps sharpen their vision, provides clarity and they walk into this marriage without the feeling...
