Menez Wedding

I decided a while ago that I didn’t want to photograph weddings anymore. I absolutely LOVE weddings, but being a wedding photographer is incredibly stressful. There are always exceptions to rules, right?

Melissa contacted me a few weeks before her wedding. She and her fiancé had already made arrangements and prepaid for their photographer. When securing a wedding photographer, it is customary to pay a deposit and make the final payment on the day of the event. This beautiful couple had already paid in full- and their photographer went MIA. OH NO! I have known Melissa for a long time and absolutely love her and her family. I could never pass up the opportunity to be there on their wedding day, and fill a role that is a must have at every wedding! So here are a few highlights from their amazing Beauty and the Beast inspired wedding 🙂

Private Ceremony: Amy and Chris get Married

In the beautiful backyard of their Bay Area home, Amy and Chris held their private wedding ceremony. With only their closest friends and family (and lucky me!) present, they exchanged their vows.

Amy shared a few private moments with her mom before the ceremony.

No matter how few or how many guests attend a wedding, it is a very momentous and special occasion. Congratulations to Amy and Chris, and hopefully Amy’s students will adjust to her new last name 🙂
