I could not have been more excited for their wedding day. A sour weather forecast could not dispell my enthusiasm for September 25th; even as I checked the Hourly Forecast page and could not find a single hour without rain, I still could have jumped for joy that this day had finally arrived. As the first wedding clients that I could call my very own, Beth & Jeremy will forever be incredibly special to me.
When we arrived that morning, Jeremy came out to greet us in his slippers and it occured to me how perfectly that scene set the tone of their day. Just as his slippers on a normal day would represent relaxation, their presence on this important day created an overtone of the unhurried easygoing nature that both Beth and Jeremy posess. Even during the most stressful part of the day, laughter dominated.
Congratulations to my wonderful new friends. I hope that those Park City mountains are giving you plenty of sunshine on your honeymoon; you deserve no less.
I was tempted to take her dress home with me. She’s lucky she was wearing it when I left.
She is so beautiful. Drop dead gorgeous is the term I heard used.
I love how happy he looks here!
We were able to access the viewing deck at the W in downtown Minneapolis and I have to tell you – it may be my new favorite spot in the city to photograph a couple. LOVE it.
I think this may be my very favorite shot from the day. They are so hot.
This. Cake. Was. So. Good.
Internet – meet my rockstar second shooter for the day. He climbed in a tree, laid down on wet pavement and essentially went all out to get the shot; Tom is amazing.
Love the ring and the dress shots! :)
You make these days so special for these people you know that don’t you?! Your creativity just grows. Great set ups. Great shots Melissa. Love the one in b & w at the alter! Fantastic.
Wow! That dress is beyond fabulous! Also loving the groom’s tie. This is such an amazing set Melissa. I can’t believe this is your first “very own” wedding. You rock!
OOoo! Beautiful! I love the three rings, and that deck is GREAT! These are wonderful! Hooray you! And hooray Tom, for doing the real dirty work!
As someone who was at the wedding, let me just say that you did a fabulous job. I can’t believe how many great shots you managed to get on such an overcast day. The ones at The W are AMAZING!
I’m verklempt. It astounds me that my tiny cutie pie has grown into such a gorgeous woman both inside and out. I am sitting here staring at these photos with the tears streaming down my face and I could not possibly be happier. Just Amazing, both the subject and the artwork that captured the moment, are just amazing. Thank you, Melissa.
Beautiful job, Melissa. I think the rain made them even better somehow. Bride and groom–you both look awesome!
One more year, one more year! These look fantastic, somehow I think having overcast skies can make pictures look even more incredible. You did a great job capturing that.
Thank you so much Melissa! Amazing work, as always. I love them all. We could not be happier with these, they are just so lovely.
They will have a fab time in Park City, The colors are amazing right now!
The vintage style dress, uh gorgeous to say the least. Those eye lashes some girls would kill for. Super, super cute couple. I love, lovee these pictures! You did a great job on these!

Hott hott hott!
You rocked these like nothing else. Oh my goodness!
When you’re famous please still talk to me… okay? Great!
these are great Melis! The architecture of the look out area is my an awesome backdrop and my favorite is the couple with the hotpink and orange background. Is that the dance floor?! Anyway the lighting is gorgeous!
I am literally drooling over her gorgeous baubles. Your pictures are SO so so amazing!
Beautiful day. Everything looks so gorgeous.
I kind of want to pee my pants looking at these amazing photos and knowing I’ll be meeting you in just a couple of weeks! EEEeeee!!!!!
