Melissa: Getting Ready

When Melissa emailed me asking if I would take her getting ready pictures on her wedding day, I was so excited! I "met" Melissa back when I was planning my wedding last year on The Knot, and so I had seen her wedding slowly come together. We had never met in real life, but after that much time online venting about everything from family to shoes to flowers, you feel like you could be best friends.

Melissa was the happiest and least stressed bride I have ever met. She had a smile on her face the entire morning. She was just giddy about everything. Her bridesmaid kept asking if she was stressed out at all, and she just kept smiling.





This perfume bottle was my favorite! Just look at those colors!



Can you believe she found these at Forever 21? So pretty!











I loved this broach! It's it to die for???

















Melissa, I love your smile!

















That Shot!! I swear this wasn't posed :)







Beautiful shoes!!!





Melissa gave her mom a handkerchief that read:
"Today a Bride, Tomorrow a Wife, Forever your Daughter"
Her mom's eyes filled with tears. I almost cried.



Then she gave her father a picture of the two of them on a trip to San Fransisco.









I think her friends were excited for her :)



The beautiful bride...



... off the marry her groom!



Melissa, thank you so much for trusting me with such an important part of your day!
You were an amazing person to work with and I wish you all the best!!!!
