The Best Thing : Nelson Wedding

Hey everybody! Hope you all have had a wonderful week thus far...

I'm super excited to blog this next couple. The hubs and I have known Ben and Melissa for a few years now. The four of us all have served at Strong Rock Camp in various capacities, so we know these two as Houston and Pretzl. Both are incredibly gifted...so much so, that the two will soon be moving to Texas for Ben to start med school.

These two are absolutely amazing, and I was thrilled when Melissa contacted me about shooting their wedding.

We'll start with her...check out the gorgeous bride!

The light was beautiful through this walkway...

Melissa's dress was a Maggie Sottero--a designer I love being that I wore one of her dresses on my wedding day...

Again--that moment when the groom sees his bride....melt.

Sealed with a kiss..

Melissa's colors were beautiful, especially these gorgeous hydrangeas...

Ben and Melissa's bridal party was so much fun-- the girls were so attentive to Melissa and the fellas helped keep the mood light...plus, they were loads of fun....

After the ceremony, B & M had an indoor reception with loads of food! I caught this little cutie trying to blow out the sterno....

Have I mentioned that I love my crew...I couldn't do it without these two.

This next little guy stole everyone's heart. Check out his little suit!!!

A couple of hours before the ceremony, the bottom dropped out...thankfully, beautiful skies headed in for the outdoor reception....

The party really began when we all headed to reception #2...here's B & M's first dance...

Then it was dad's turn...

Ben and Melissa's reception was so much fun. They were having a blast, which translated into their guests having an awesome time!

These guys cracked me up...it was rare that they weren't on the dance floor bustin' a move...Sondra grabbed this sweet one during cotton eyed joe....

There was also "Michael" who dazzled us with his moves...

Congratulations to the Nelsons! We will miss you guys, but know you guys are going to turn Texas upside down! Love you two!
