When I walked into the reception room at Vina Robles for Melisa and Justin's wedding, I was blown away by how gorgeous things looked.  The flowers, the place settings, the colors, and everything was just stunning.  Then, I saw Melisa in her wedding dress for the first time and I thought that the reception decorations were just a teaser.  She looked amazing.

One of Melisa's special photographic requests for the day was to focus on Justin's face as he first saw her walk up the aisle.  She really wanted to see the emotions that he was going through.  But, I had even more fun watching Justin get ready before the ceremony.  He was a nervous wreck.  Hands shaking so bad that it was hard to button his tuxedo vest.  Pacing the floor in the hotel room, nervously calling on all the last minute details he wanted to make sure were perfect.

But, as soon as the ceremony started and he saw her face, he relaxed to his normal self.  Which happens to be a wide-smiled, fun-loving guy who loves to make everyone laugh and have a great time.  As you'll see in the photos, the bride and groom are a great match...smiles all the way around.  Melisa and Justin...thanks so much for sharing your day with me.  I loved your wedding!!
