I am so in love with this wedding, I want to marry it Jaime and Todd were married at their house, on a beautiful Saturday evening. This wedding was so perfect and so loving. All of Jaime’s friends chipped in and helped her execute the entire day with ease and beauty. Literally everything was done by Jaime, Todd, and her closets friends. It was a true labor of love. And, boy do they know how to throw a party!

Of the many many many weddings I’ve attended, been in, and shot, this was by far the most love-filled wedding i’ve ever witnessed. Love was oozing out of everything and everyone. It was beautiful. It was sweet. It was AMAZING.

Jaime’s son, Sam walked her down the aisle and gave her away. It was so sweet. They had one of their closest friends marry them, and let me tell you, she was amazing! Their friends got up during the ceremony and read poems. And, to top it off, Jaime and Todd wrote their own, extremely loving and emotional vows. I found it so hard to take pictures because I was crying like a little baby! There was great food, great drinks, great music, and a lot of great dancing! Seeing Todd dance with Jaime’s daughter, Olivia, was so sweet and so apparent that they already are a FAMILY.

These two are truly blessed by how many friends and family they have that absolutely love them to pieces.

Jaime and Todd, that you so much for letting me step inside your beautiful little world, and experience the most loving, moving, and beautiful weddings I have ever witnessed. You two remained so calm and so focused on what the day is actually about…LOVE.

I wish you two all the best and know that you have an amazing future ahead of you.

I want to give a HUGE shout out to my ridiculously talented and fabulous second shooter Kathryn Colby! Thanks for capturing some of the most memorable and beautiful moments!

The Best Boudoir Shoot EVER! :)

kellymelissaphotography — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 05:17:06 +0000

Let me start by saying I LOVE what I do! Also, I love everything about this boudoir session…especially the gorgeous woman who let me snap away relentlessly at her!

Let me introduce to you, Margaret. She’s is one of my best friends and she happens to be one of my favorite people on this entire planet. We go back…waaaay back. I remember the first time we hung out in high school…we ditched school with Kori, and sat and talked for hours! I literally told her ALL of my secrets! She’s such an amazing person She’s the type of friend who will love you unconditionally. She’ll love you for the good, the ugly, the nice, and the mean person you can be. You can tell her the most horrific thing about yourself and she won’t even bat an eye. She’ll just love you. She’s hilarious. She’s beautiful. She’s nice. Yes, nice. What?!? She’s beautiful and nice, usually those two don’t go hand in hand. But, with Margaret, they do. I’m a very lucky person to have her in my life. She’s my biggest cheerleader, my avid blog reader, my wedding officiant, the best confidant, the best secret keeper, my ghost writer, letter reader, rising moon, Skippy cuddler (even though she’s allergic), confidence booster, my lifeline….basically she’s EVERYTHING. She means the world to me, and I don’t know what I’d do without her…

I LOVE YOU MARGARET!

So, on to the amazing pictures! I LOVED working with Margaret! She had no limits, and was totally trusting…which makes my job SO much fun! Here are a few of the PG pictures I know you’ll enjoy them…

P.S. Doesn’t she belong in Victoria’s Secret?!?

The Ortega Kids

I’ve known these little kiddies mom, Annilissa, for over a decade. We were super close in high school. Annilissa and Bobby have been together forever. In high school, Bobby moved away and Annilissa had a “Bobby Doll”, (with a picture of Bobby’s face on it) and she slept with it every night. I can honestly say, out of all the relationships that friends had in high school, this is the one I knew would last forever. So, obviously I was so excited to find out they have two beautiful kids, Bobby and Jenna. These two were SO fun to work with! Bobby was a total ham and Jenna was a wonderful model. Here are a few of my favorites from our shoot…

When Justina contacted me about taking some pictures of her, I was SO excited. I’ve known Justina for such a long time! She’s my sisters best friend…and, she’s such a beautiful person, inside and out. We had so much fun…we went to quite a few locations, and boy did she work it. Here are a few of my favorites…
