Bride and groom kissing in front of mountains

This wedding was one for the books! I had the best time second shooting for Laura Wolfgang Photography and capturing Chris and Ashlee’s wedding day at Cheyenne Mountain Resort. Not only is it an absolutely beautiful wedding venue, but we got so lucky with the weather.

In true Colorado fashion, the day started with threats of torrential downpour and we had even discussed moving Chris and Ashlee’s ceremony inside. But luckily everything turned out for the best and after a few rainy portraits, they had a stunning, sunny ceremony on the beach at Cheyenne Mountain Resort surrounded by their closest family and friends.

Their day was overflowing with bright, colorful flowers which just accentuated the beautiful scenery. They also had the cutest wedding favors, even including koozies with their wedding details! Ashlee’s energy throughout the day kept a smile on all our faces and she had so much energy dancing that she even ended up flat on the floor at one point in the evening! Thankfully she was just fine, and continued to laugh through the whole thing. If that doesn’t sum up her entire personality, I don’t know what does!

I had such a fun time photographing this day alongside Laura. Ashlee and Chris, thank you for being so kind and welcoming. Cheers to an amazing future as Mr and Mrs!

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT MELISSA

Believer in lifelong love, passionate about morning golden hour, exploring new places and the emotions forever frozen through photography.

One of my favorite memories in childhood was sneaking away with my sister and looking through old photo albums, especially our parent's wedding album. We loved seeing our grandparents, family members
and family friends in those pages. We imagined what they were laughing about and what songs they were dancing to. We giggled and loved every minute of holding that gold and white album in our hands. Providing those happy, tangible and emotional memories for my clients is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography.

I grew up in the Chicagoland suburbs and I love the variety that the area offers in wedding venues and locations for your engagement session. The amount of options here are pure perfection. But pairing my love for new places with my passion for wedding photography is a wonderful adventure. I crave the adventure and excitement that a new
places offers, all while bringing the MSP experience to each and every
spot l travel to with my couples.

My husband Rob and I have been together for over thirteen years and when I'm not serving my amazing clients you can find us traveling, spoiling our pup Wally (a 7 year old Border Collie, Husky and German Shepherd mix) and trying new restaurants...but probably ordering something similar every time.

I pride myself on offering my couples a creative, high-touch, seamless wedding photography experience from start to finish. I will share tips and tricks learned over many years of photographing weddings, so your day can be as stress-free as possible and you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I look forward to learning about you and your partner.
