Congratulations Melissa & Robert!

These wedding photos will be posted on my proofsite by April 30th. To view them, use Melissa's maiden name as the event code

Melissa and Robert faced some challenges while preparing for their wedding, first the ceiling of their original church collapsed forcing them to relocate- and within a matter of days (or hours?) from this incident, I fell and broke my leg!

However, you can't stop true love, so they rolled with the punches and had their wedding at stunning St. Joseph's church. On the photography front, I secured the help of the fabulous Nancy Newton. I also managed to move around quite well on my crutches due in no small part to my sister Morgan who pitched in helping me with my gear, flashes, lenses, crutches and everything else! A big thank you to both of them!

So despite the initial setbacks, their wedding was a smashing success, it was a beautiful day, a gorgeous setting, and a great time was had by all, especially Robert and Melissa who were just beaming the whole day and are so wonderful together!
