True Love

I don't even know where to start when describing the wonderful evening that I had at this wedding! I had absolutely the most fun! Everyone was so warm and welcoming and I felt like a member of the party and not in the least bit like I was working, which is such a treat for me! It helps a little bit that I knew some of the family… and three of them were my family! ;) John and Lois are the perfect picture of love! You could just feel so much love between them that seemed to rub off on everyone in the room! Please accept my heartfelt congratulations again, John & Lois! I have absolutely no doubt that you will have a blissfully wonderful happy marriage!










Had to sneak in one of my sweet niece! ;)

A picture is worth a thousand words right?

If that is truly the case, these make up pictures should add up to a billion words! I'm so sorry that I have been out of the blog loop for awhile, but I hope you follow the Melibelle Facebook... I'm always uploading sneak peeks over there! :) Enjoy this little catch up! :)

First up my Niece!

Kismet

Where to begin with these two? I have known this blushing bride since we were in middle school! In high school she met the man of her dreams and they were absolutely head over heels for each other. You know, the crazy beautiful kind of love that makes you sick and jealous at the same time? They were that couple. They dated off and on through high school and I was just positive that they would marry and never part. Life happened (as it usually does at that age) and they drifted apart. About now you’re saying Melissa.. this seems like a weird blog post for an engaged couple! I’m right, aren’t I? Surprise! Fate intervened and brought these two crazy in love high school kids back together! And I have been so fortunate to be the one to document this sweet time in their love story! Their wedding is in 3 days and I can't wait!! :) Congrats you guys!

Wedding Sneak Peak # 2!!

So the I got to spend Memorial Day at Alexis and Mark's wedding! They had a small intimate ceremony and reception at Thistle Hill in downtown Ft Worth. Apparently the place is haunted! They left this little detail out till the end of my time there!!! Good Plan!! My Uncle actual shared this little gem with me after the happy couple had made their departure. You can read one haunting story here luckily I saw no ghost while there! Alexis is actually my cousin so it made it extra special to be able to capture her special day. Her Husband Mark is a silly fun guy so he keep the laughs and antics coming all night! Enjoy your sneak peek guys!!!

The big sis lending a hand in the makeup department!

Jessica & Cody sneak peak!!!

So a few weekends ago I had the pleasure of being a part of Jessica & Cody's big day in White house at Victoria Station. It was a lovely event and the owners are fantastically nice people who were great to work with! Jessica and Cody are the sweetest little couple and I had a blast being a part of your day guys! I think Jessica was the MOST laid back bride I've ever seen! There was threats of rain ALL DAY... while it did sprinkle of and on then ALL through the reception she never missed a beat!! I would have been a wreck..Not Mrs. Jessica! The girsl pics before had to be moved to the pourch and she didn't blink an eye!! Awesomeness! I hope all my future brides will be this cool! :) So without any more rambling from me here's a sneak peak for you crazy kids!! :)

Cody's sweet self sent a card for his bride via a bridesmaid! She cried! :)
