I am so happy to extend the biggest congratulations to Leanne and Kenny, also known as the new Mr. and Mrs. Craft This happy couple tied the knot on December 1, 2012 at Camp Mad Anthony Wayne in Wayne, WV. I must say, this venue is a wonderful little hidden gem for weddings – it was my first time shooting there and the combination of rustic interior and woodsy grounds made for a lovely combination – not to mention that Kenny and Leanne were blessed with October-like weather in December! I love all of the vintage details that Leanne and her mom put together – I photograph professionally decorated events all of the time, and these two held their own with any of them! The happiness of this day was apparent for the friends and family who gathered to celebrate the nuptials – Kenny and Leanne never forgot the reason for the day: Each other. I am most excited to reveal this little slice of their documentary – a big thank you to all of the friends and family, spending this day with you was a pleasure!! xoxoxoxo Melissa

The biggest congratulations go out to Jaime Meeks & Todd Schimmel – this happy pair tied the knot on 12-12-12- at West Virginia’s gorgeous Canaan Valley Resort. Just enough snow had fallen to set the scene of a wintery landscape – I LOVE couples who are willing to trek out in the cold for their photo shoots, and Jaime, Todd, and their wedding party were National Geographic tough. Check out Todd’s little girls braving the frostiness!!! I love the happiness and togetherness of this group of family and friends – so much personality shows through in the photos! And, wow, Jaime’s bridal portraits in the snow – magnificent, she rocked them!!!! After their bubble exit, I looked to the sky to see fiery, brilliant colors – the perfect conclusion to a most lovely and happy day spent with a wonderful group of people!! I am most happy to extend a big thanks to Jaime, Todd, their friends and family, as well as the staff at Canaan, for such a wonderful experience – Congrats!!!! xoxoxoxo Melissa
