Witnessing these two love birds recite their vows to one another privately during their first look was such an emotional and beautiful moment I will cherish forever.
Thank you both for allowing me to capture such genuine and pure love on your wedding day! Much love to you both! 💕 #theperfectmadjd

Double post because its FALL, Ya’ll! 🍁

Just a friendly reminder to couples that have inquired about my current wedding pricing and availability, please note that wedding prices are subject to increase as of November 1, 2019.

2020 is already starting to fill up with some popular wedding dates and some months are already booking up. So, if you are interested in pricing or have any questions or would like to meet for a consultation, please reach out ASAP.
It breaks my heart to turn away Brides because I am already booked on their wedding date. 💔

Hi Lovelies! 🙋🏽‍♀️ Let’s talk about nicknames!
I go by quite a few... you know the typical, Mom, Mommy, Babe, Baby, those are the most common I hear on repeat. But actually when I was younger, since I couldn’t pronounce “Melissa”, I would say “Sasa” and that just caught on. So pretty much all my Family calls me that. When I was growing up it made me a little embarrassed but now I fully embrace it and have come to love all the unique nicknames I have been called.
To name a few, here are some other nicknames I go by Issa, Shorty, Katootoo, Booty, SweetPea, Meli, Melis, Lub, Sweetheart, Wifey Love... the list goes on. I know I’ve said this a few times... But NO to MEL! 🙅🏽‍♀️
.
Your turn, what are some fun nicknames you’ve been called and what’s the story behind it?

📸: @cassidyskyephoto- Thank you to my favorite Photog and friend for always capturing the best angles. ✨

Hair + Make up: @getdarlingartistry- Thank you for making look and feel pretty. 💕

Both these Ladies are not only sweet humans but amazing at their crafts. Go give them a follow 🤗

“They found me. I don’t know how, but they found me!” LOL! 😂😂 This was my exact thoughts when I received my first Jury duty summons. 😏
