When talented graphic designer, and photographer Melissa Bertrand
asked me to shoot her wedding, I was excited and honored.
I have worked with Melissa for years when I used to create and sell my greeting cards.
She was such a lifesaver for my print and design!
I was so excited to meet her hubby -to-be, Josh, and capture the magic of their big day!
Here are just some of my favs of the day from beginning to end:

The Marvelous Dessert Table!
*****
Gangnam Style!

Once we were finished shooting, my wonderful assistant, Kristy Ellison and I
hopped in the photobooth for some silliness! :)
*****
This was such a great wedding!
SO much fun and filled with love and gorgeous moments.
Thanks again Melissa & Josh for choosing me as your wedding photographer!
Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together!
And thanks to Kristy Ellison for being such an awesome assistant! xo

What a beautiful wedding, and SO well captured. You did a fanstastic job.
Wow, every time I look at one of your galleries, I am blown away. It doesn’t even look like a real wedding, it’s so perfect! I feel like I am flipping through a spread in Real Simple, or Coastal Living, or the like. Keep ’em coming!
Her wedding was gorgeous and your photos are gorgeous! I’m in love with this entire gallery- from design to decor to photography. Good stuff right here. :)
I can’t get over it… you have THE MOST BEAUTIFUL clients! I want to move to Ojai so bad- these pics are feeding my addiction!
Looks like a fun and relaxed wedding! Love the cowboy boots!!
Michelle- you are so unbelievably talented. The pictures are amazing!!
Ojai is just stunning and so was that wedding!
Michelle we are blown away, over and over again, every time we see our photos. You were such a joy to work with and such a talent! XOXO
