Melissa and Andre

This past Saturday Ashley and I photographed Melissa and Andre's wedding in Ames, IA.  You might remember Melissa and Andre from our engagement session contest.  They were our first shoot of the winners.  As we all know the weather has been rather cool, but I don't think anyone expected snow!?  That didn't slow down their big day.  I personally love snow and would have been elated to shoot some wedding photos in the snow, but that's just me.  The wedding was in a beautiful church with the best entry way that we have ever seen.  It was open with incredibly high ceilings.  The sun came out around ceremony time and allowed that area to really light up.  Post ceremony we headed to the Memorial Union on the Iowa State campus for some candid formals.  It was still a bit cool out, but wedding party as well as bride and groom were up for it.  After capturing all that we could we headed to Seven Oaks Lodge for their reception.  The lodge was beautifully decorated and you could tell how much hard work went into it.  They had also put up some big prints from their previous engagement session.  Ashley and I were honored that they would hang up our work to be a part of their wedding day.  In the end we had a fantastic time and the photos turned out great.  Below are a few of our favorites.  Congratulations Melissa and Andre!
