Congratulations to Melissa & Kip, married March 5th, 2011

I just had to share some photos of the beautiful bride Melissa...one of the sweetest gals I've ever been given the opportunity to work with. Not only is she super nice, but she is gorgeous on the outside as well...so cliche sounding, I know.








The wedding & reception were held at the Trade Winds Resort in St. Petersburg FL. Melissa had a wonderful group of gals getting ready with her and they all seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves.

I didn't have the opportunity to meet Kip, but I have a feeling he's pretty awesome too after meeting his mom and sisters...not to mention the fact that he landed a doll like Melissa.

The photographer that shot this beautiful couple is Christine Delessio of Christine DeLessio Photography. I liked how she worked with the different forms of lighting and how many personal moments she captured between the couple, family & friends.

Congratulations Melissa & Kip...may you have a life full of love, health & happiness! Thank you for letting me be a part of your day!

Photoshoot with the Dressing Room & Elle Wedding Photography

A few months ago, in a gorgeous home in St. Petersburg, I had the opportunity to work with some of my favorite, and most respected vendors in our industry. Judy of The Dressing Room asked me to style the hair and makeup for a photo shoot with Djamel Ramoul of Elle Wedding Photography...and of course, I was happy to oblige!

We did a few different looks on Alexis...who happens to be one of the most easy going models I've ever worked with, and at the young age of goodness...15, I believe, was oh so very professional!

Judy chose to work with 4 or 5 dresses; working her magic coordinating accessories, veils, and flowers to complement each look & design. To put it simply, she is an expert. I've worked with her many times, including on my own wedding, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone and everyone.

Djamel...umm, can we just say...flawless? His work, demeanor, and straight up knowledge of his profession is wonderful to watch. He is SO fun to work with too!!! Your wedding photos will look like they belong in the latest edition of Style Weddings...and any other wedding publication.

Here are just a few of the pictures from the day...we started a little more classic and tame...and as the day went on...we kicked it up a few notches.

 

Did I mention she was 15??? GORGEOUS!!!

Much thanks to Judy of The Dressing Room and Djamel of Elle Wedding Photography!!
