If I could describe this wedding in one word, it would be OMG!!!! Ok, that’s technically three words when NOT an acronym, but whatever, you get it, right!?! OH MY GOSH!! What a crazy, awesome, uber fun, laugh until it hurts, don’t want it to end kind of BLAST Melody & John’s (MAGGARD!!) wedding was!! When I first met Melody…I instantly loved her sense of humor, how GORG she was and her sense of style…and I just had a feeling that that would sneak it’s way into their wedding day, and LUCKY FOR ME…it DID!! And then I met John…and he instantly showed me his custom made polka dot lined, red zippered (yes THAT zipper!) SUIT and I was pretty much sold. From there on out, the entire day was sheer joy and perfection…oh and an absolute BLAST!! A wonderful vendor & venue team made the day flow perfectly, look stylish and beautiful…and create one heck of a party!! It was truly great! Melody & John…you two are just plain COOL. And wonderfully kind, warm, fun, endearing, in love, rock some awesome style, have uber cool friends and family, are hysterical, rocked the posing for pictures, know how to have a blast, awesome, low key, easy going, did I mention FUN!? Thank you for being soo wonderful to work with, embracing the photography on your wedding day and being all together GREAT!! Your wedding was one that I will never forget. I wish you a lifetime of endless laughter and crazy love.

Oh what a GREAT day Kristin & Mike had!! I’ve known from first talking to Kristin that she was fantastic, soo kind and warm! She had this wedding totally together and perfectly planned…but she did it with a very fun, flexible, excited approach which really showed on the wedding day! She enjoyed every moment, had such fun….but didn’t have to worry about a thing! Oh…other than the fact that it was 100 degrees! And Mike rolled with everything soo well and equally enjoyed the day! Mike is one of those guys that you just don’t quite know how to take at first. He’s a former Marine, very serious upon initial interaction, he looks at you like he is certainly reading you…and then he cracks a bit, shows a bit of his humor, flashes his million dollar smile and after a few minutes, is cracking you up and showing you how much of a genuinely warm person he is underneath that tough exterior….especially when Kristin is in the room. He makes her laugh and practically beam with joy…and she makes him forget than anyone else is in the world…it’s like he could stare and smile at her forever. It’s perfect. Just the way love should be. They are truly soo precious together. Their wedding day was intricately planned, yet was incredibly calm and relaxing, with time to go have lunch (Erika and I joked that it’s been nearly 3 years since we ate lunch on a wedding day!!) and even take in a bit of Champaign…and every time I visit, I’m reminded of how great and charming of a town it is. We even hung out downtown for group pictures around the bar that Kristin and Mike first met at…and it was such fun that we almost forgot we were working! A fantastic party topped off the night and as I made the trip back to Indy, I couldn’t help but just keep thinking of what a GREAT day it was. Kristin and Mike…I just adore you both soo much! I wish you the kind of love that you have today, every single day for the rest of your lives. OH…and a bunch of gorgeous babies with those million dollar smiles!
