What a fun and Beautiful day June 26th was! I’ll admit… I was a bit tired from a wedding the previous day but once I arrived at the Salon and saw Melissa and met all the girls- I knew I was in for a treat. I’d been looking forward to Melissa and Kevin’s wedding ever since I met them in Augusta for their engagement session. We had such a great time- this couple is overflowing with energy, love, and passion for one another and for life! I knew their wedding was going to be a GREAT time after spending just those couple of hours with them and seeing just how lively and how much energy they had when they were together.
Melissa is one of the most genuine and tenderhearted gals I’ve met. Her inner beauty radiates as she’s truly beautiful from the inside out. Kevin is a true gentleman and knew from the first date this was the girl he was going to marry. He’d found his match. He’s a former Marine and is currently a football coach for the college where they met (she works with in the student office). Together they make such a beautiful couple and their love and energy is contagious.
There were so many amazing photographs from this wedding I wanted to feature and share with you I’ve decided to divide their wedding into 2 posts. So here’s the first one for you to enjoy- check back for round #2 tomorrow!

If you’ve ever been to Swan Lake at Berry College then you may have seen the white swan and his friends.
I’m not sure what she’s thinking here… maybe it’s all starting to sink in.. it’s her wedding day!
Enjoying a few quiet moments with her mother.
Who then had the honors of helping her into her dress.
Meanwhile… Kevin was busy getting ready as well.
Some of the guys helped him and being the gracious man he is.. he helped them as well.
Soooo excited to see their friend as a bride for the first time!
*Sigh* Stunning.
Special thanks to Julie Nelson- her friend and wedding planner extrodinare.. she volunteered to do “whatever it took to make sure Melissa was beautiful”. Julie was such a rockstar!
Loved this little moment Melissa and her grandmother shared.
Such a fun and beautiful bridal party!
After a little scare that the guys had arrived before we were finished with the girls’ pictures.. Melissa went running for cover.. and then we realized it was a false alarm! :-D Anything to keep the adrenaline pumping on a wedding day! Kevin eventually found his way to the lake and then it was his turn for pictures.
For a guy who really doesn’t like pictures.. he rocked it out pretty darn well I’d say ;)
Yep- the groomsmen were a a fun bunch as well.
These are a few images my amazing and wonderful second captured. Thanks Karen for being such a great help!
Frost has no airconditioning, no fans… no breeze. It was 100 degrees outside and saying it was a bit warm inside would be a huge understatement.
It may be hot- but Frost is one of the most gorgeous chapels I’ve ever seen!
All Smiles!
Stay tuned for one of the most unique and fun filled receptions to date! Make sure and leave your comments and love below for Melissa and Kevin. :-D
