Melanie & Adam ~ married
Posted on July 20, 2008
It has been a crazy couple of weeks since Melanie & Adam’s wedding, so I apologize that I am just now getting the blog post up! Anyway…on to the wedding details!
When I first met with Melanie & Adam back in October, we chatted over coffee at Starbucks and it turned out that I had something in common with both of them. Although I didn’t know her at the time because she graduated a couple of years after me, Melanie is also a DAAP alumni with her Fashion Design degree which she now uses designing clothing for Abercrombie & Fitch. Adam also shares my passion for people with disabilities and works in the special needs field. I knew from our meeting that I was going to enjoy their wedding because Melanie & Adam are so laid back & fun. On top of that, they are pretty good-looking too:)
The day started with “getting ready” pictures at Melanie’s parents house and then we went to Ault Park for the bridal party pictures and the ceremony. Despite the torrential downpour that surprised us as we were taking group shots before the ceremony, the day progressed smoothly. Their wedding took place in the Rose Gardens at Ault Park and it was absolutely beautiful! Their quaint reception at the Sweetwine Banquet Center was also beautiful.
Melanie & Adam ~ your wedding was a blast and I am so glad I had the opportunity to share it with you. Congratulations and I wish you all the best!
I just love this series of Adam that Donny captured:
Melanie was stunning!
The bridesMEN:
The groomsmen (Adam really wanted a “Reservoir Dogs” look):
I was obsessed with the bridesmaid dresses!
The sun was in their eyes, but they were so cute I couldn’t resist posting this one:
Their programs doubled as fans - great idea since it was VERY hot that day!
Pure skill:
Melanie’s grandmother was gorgeous!
I couldn’t help but notice all of the fashionable people during the receiving line:
They had one of the coolest cakes I’ve ever seen:
Hi Kelly,
I love all of your photos you do an amazing job…I was wondering if I could use one of these photos on the lodges website…the one of the wedding dress on the couch. I could make it link to your blog- let me know what you think. Our site is so ugly and I’m trying to make it a little prettier :)
Thanks,
Allison
Yeah!!! The Ault Park wedding! = )
I love the series that Donny caught and I LOVE the silhouette of the flowers! That would make a fantastic print!
hey, kelly! i’m holly. jess wallace did my senior session yesterday and we were talking about how i want to go into photography. we weren’t sure what it took to get into DAAP, so she referred me to you! :) so, my question is: what does one need to do to get into DAAP for photography? do you need a portfolio of photos? a good GPA already established at UC? fill me in pleeease. :) thank ya!
Kelly,
The pictures are stunning! You were the best decision we made! We’re both so excited going through all of them and re-living the day! It all went by so fast. You seriously did an amazing job. I’m glad we chose someone from DAAP!
