Now that Melissa and Chris’ wedding has been featured on a national blog, I can finally blog it myself.
Originally I met with Melissa and her dad, Joel, for the initial consultation. We talked for a little while and I just got a great sense from them. I was also excited that they chose to have their wedding at Taliesin West, architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s winter home and school in the desert from 1937 until his death in 1959. As you will see, it was a great choice!
It was nice to have Melissa and Chris fly out back in August to shoot their engagement session. To escape the heat and get a little more green in the photos, we headed up to Prescott. Rain threatened for most of the afternoon, but we still got some great shots.
The wedding day started at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort where both Melissa and Chris were getting ready with the wedding party. From there, both groups took a limo to Taliesin where we did the first look and had a little time to get some great pics of just the two of them. The ceremony was right at sunset and the reception was out under the stars. A special thanks goes out to Carlyn Millea of Risa Whitney Events for putting on such a gorgeous event.
