15 Years | Love for All

intro.jpg

So I love you because I know no other way (by Louisa)

August 10, 2011 in Weddings

There are some things in life that fill you with absolute joy. For me, Melissa and Jamie’s wedding was one of those things. Melissa has been one of my bestest, most wonderfulest friends for almost 9 years and yesterday she married the love of her life.

Jamie and Melissa are honest, beautiful, sincere, gracious…the list goes on and on. Having two brides to photograph was AMAZING, as I got to shoot two bouquets, two dresses, two sets of jewelry, etc. You get a bit more chaos with two brides (!) but at the end of the day, watching these two tie the knot and declare their love for each other in front of family and friends was one of the highlights of my life. (Side note: ridiculously hard to shoot photos while crying like a baby)

Melissa and Jamie: I love you both dearly and I could not be happier for you. You make beautiful brides and even more beautiful friends. May you continue to make each other laugh, be kind to each other and find joy in your life together.

It's those little moments on the big day. For @rivetsandroses photographer @tksloane, photography allows her to give people the gift of being seen, of being met where they're at in a moment.
