Catching Up

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

This past fall has been a very busy one. My 'real job' in the school photography industry is very seasonal to fall, as you can imagine. So between that, my own photography work and among other things, the last few months left very limited time for updating the blog and online albums. 2013 seemed to be the summer/fall for family photos, so this is my catch up post on a few of those shoots that missed hitting my blog earlier and you will also find updates on Melissa Photography Facebook albums over the next few days!

Happy Holidays!

    

I love weddings!

I came across this slideshow from Jenna and Devon's wedding that was still hanging out on my computer, and as I watched it again it reminded me of how much I love weddings and being able to capture that pure happiness of the day. I had so much fun with Jenna and Devon and everyone involved, what a great day it was. Wedding photography is not a full time job for me, and I don't believe it ever will be. I do it because I love to and I don't ever want it to become a job that I do because I have to. However... I do still have 2013 dates available and would be thrilled to fill them with weddings for anyone still looking for a photographer ;)

Cool Anniversary Photos

If you have an anniversary coming up (or even better if you just got married) here's a very cool idea for all your future anniversaries to come. Preferably starting with your first anniversary, hold a photo of both of you on your wedding day in your anniversary photo, do this every year, holding the previous year's anniversary photo. One day you will be able to look back at all your anniversaries starting from the day you got married, all in one photo!



 

Paul and Melissa Engaged

We could not have asked for a more perfect night last Friday for an engagement shoot, a shoot that we had to reschedule twice because of rain. I have worked with Melissa a couple times before for Equine Shoots and was excited to hear from her about her Engagement! She had requested that we do the engagement shoot at Mt Nemo conservation area near Burlington since this is the where Paul and Melissa had their first date, and got engaged. A special spot for the two of them, and it was perfect! We had the entire place to ourselves, there were no bugs at all on a beautiful warm night and we had a gorgeous sunset. What more could we ask?!

Paul and Melissa's wedding is in January, it will be my first winter wedding and I'm so excited about it!! I love winter and have been hoping for a winter wedding to come along! :)
Congratulations Paul and Melissa and I can't wait to capture your special day!!
