When Melodie asked me to document her wedding day, I couldn’t have been happier. She’s one of those humans who oozes joy… she is literally dancing her way through life. And knowing that she’s prayed and waited patiently, and prayed some more for this day to come, made it even more special. I’ve been to a ton of weddings- this one was so so so special.
For one thing, I knew most everyone there- and I don’t mean I know of them- I mean, they are my people. It was actually a bit tricky to work because I wanted to hug every single person in the audience. I had to keep it together, keep focused, because even with my eye in a camera, I was crying through the entire ceremony. These sweet folks had my heart and witnessing their marriage union was one the best days, weather and all.
Speaking of weather, the clouds hung heavy with rain, but Melodie makes her own sunshine everywhere she goes. They stood on the edge of the Oklahoma cliff, umbrellas popping open, singing praises and making vows, surrounded by love and encouragement.
I couldn’t have made it through the day without my amazing team- Jessie Dewey, my main gal and second shooter and my husband, working the drone and the sound equipment. They make my job so easy.
