It was January 3rd 2009 at the Columbus Bridal show downtown. Jared and I had been invited by Sherri Wilburn to display some work for the OHS booth. We have never participated in a bridal show so this was going to be new to us. Traffic was dieing down due to the fashion show getting ready to take place. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a SUCKER for pretty dresses and lots of glitz. Pllleassse come watch with me!! I begged to Jared. After convincing him to come, we made our way to the closest section where we could lean up against a pole and watch. 5 minutes into the show this beautiful mother and her future daughter-in-law whispers over to Jared how brave he is in coming with me to the bridal show! He chuckles and began to tell them how we are photographers and we got married a little over a year ago. From there we all laughed together at new, funky styles and awed at ones that were beautiful. I knew right then and there that Melissa was a bride I really wanted to shoot. About a month later we got an email from Melissa wanting to set up a meeting. From there the rest is history.
We continued to hang out and grow closer with Melissa and Brandon and they quickly have become some of our best friends. I have been waiting very impatiently to be able to post the images of the happiest day of their lives. From laughing together at silly stories to crying together at cheesy chick flicks….I present to you…Melissa and Brandon!
