A Windy Wedding at Mildale Farms; Melissa & Casey

On a windy but beautiful Saturday afternoon, Ashlee & I joined with some of our favorite people to pull together the wedding of Melissa & Casey.  We worked with a team of stellar people who made this event come together with perfection!  And we got to work with our favorite band (Michael Beers Band) & the all-time most organized coordinator: Mrs. Kindra Browne (of Simple Elegance).  The wind provided an additional challenge, especially when it came to the bride’s veil.  Now personally, as a photographer, I enjoy a little wind.  It can add an unexpected element that distracts my subjects & sometimes this can be really fun.

But on Melissa & Casey’s wedding day, we had SERIOUS wind!  The recorded gusts made their way up to 25 MPH, which can be a challenge for a bride in a cathedral length veil!  Despite the challenge provided by the wind, all of the details came together beautifully.  It was a spectacular day, thanks to all of those who made it!

I LOVED the little flower girl dresses!  The bride ordered them from an artist on Esty & it was a unique way to change things up.  The little girls were twirling around in them all day.  The light caught the fabric of the skirts & it simply made the little girls glow!!

    Adrienne,
    Wow! I must say that in 14 years of planning, I have never opened up pictures of the weddings I plan and felt the tears begin to fall like I did when I saw these. YOU captured the beauty of the event that so many of us worked so hard on. Most importantly, you captured the beauty of Melissa and Casey both on the inside and out. They are such great people and such a great couple! When I get to work with such a great couple and their families, and pull it all together with such a fabulous team, it is serendipity for me. Thanks so much for all you do soon to be mama!!
