Melissa & Jerad married July 18, 2009

Melissa & Jerad have a totally fun style and their wedding was like a mix of Retro Vintage with a dash of Carnivale and Rustic. It was only fitting to make their wedding slideshow a little more lively. The wedding and reception took place at the Thurston County Fairgrounds in Olympia. The groomsmen smoked pipes, the best man was a woman, and the shoes, vintage Christian Louboutin shoes for the bride and her sister/maid of honor.
There is something about Luxury red soled shoes from Paris... especially for a wedding!
Their first look was on the porch and there was a lot of tears of joy and happiness.

The Groomsmen in the pens

We took advantage of the cool barns and the fun old "No Smoking" sign. Of course Jerad had his groom's pipe and Melissa was smoking hot as a bride.

Melissa had her grandmother's pearls and her mother helped her put them on. What a moment while getting ready. Such a mix of emotion, but Melissa exuded calmness and grace and looked so beautiful.
Melissa & Jerad I loved working with you and your families and I wish you much happiness together.
