Your Endless Memories Photography

Melanie & Paul…… so many words to describe them, fun-loving, energetic, sweet, funny, stylish and the list goes on.  These two met in gymnastics club at Virginia Tech and knew it was something they liked about each other.  However, both were dating other people at the time, so they became friends and kept in contact after graduation.  He began a profession in the medical field, but soon left that field and moved to California to pursue his “Stunt Man” career.  Melanie worked in DC for the government, and has to travel to various parts of the world (London, Rome, Africa, etc) for auditing purposes.   When they both became single, they eventually began dating, and it did not take long for the two to become totally smitten with each other.  Melanie decided to move to California to be with Paul, after being born & raised here on the east coast.  Their lives were pushed into overdrive last summer when Paul decided that it was time to make her his permanent leading lady, by proposing.

When we met Melanie for the first time last year, she had just returned from London that very same day, while her beau Paul was on a shoot in Vancouver for the upcoming Superman movie (shhh…don’t tell anyone)….and we thought we were busy.  We could not have asked for a better way to kick off our wedding season this year with such a great couple and bridal party.  The only request we had at the end of the night was if they could take us with them on their 2 week honeymoon to Thailand…yes Thailand!

Special Thanks to: the Please Touch Museum Staff, Entertainment Beyond Expectation (EBE) & Elaine Igo (Coordinator), and the Florists/Decorations specialist Clorise Watson, and the many others that helped make this day a success.

We must forewarn you, this is a rather long post.  Enjoy!

Paul’s gift to Melanie the day of the wedding was a VERY nice Jimmy Choo clutch that she was able to use the day of the wedding.  Pretty sure he scored some major cool points for that.

Melanie’s mom was sure to let us know that Melanie had the inside of her dress embroidered as her something blue.  How cute!

This is Melanie’s attempt at her sexy face before she broke out in complete laughter.

The guys got dress just a few floors away, while checking out the Twins vs Marlins game.

We just love when the timeline allows for a few pictures before the actual ceremony.  Everything tends to feel much more relaxed.

Gotta love the pink sneakers!

Melanie even went so far as to have their wedding date painted on her nail and we loved the idea.

We knew that it would not take long for the stuntman to come out.  The things that they can do is nothing short of amazing!

We were almost taken by surprise by the mid air high-five that all of the groomsmen did when they entered for the ceremony.

After the ceremony, it was back outside for more pics…our favorite part!

This has to be a first….and it was totally their idea.  We love it when the bridal party is INTO IT!!!

Melanie was extremely daring to imitate Paul’s mid-air Superman pose, but she definitely pulled it off.

We will just put it out there since we’re sure you are wondering, these lovely centerpieces were designed by the very talented Clorise Watson.

Before the party really got started, we were able to pull the bridal party aside for one last group picture.  We’re glad we did.

Then we had M & P all to ourselves for a few moments.

Truly a fairy-tale couple.

This is literally the final picture of the night before we backed up our bags.  Congratulations again and again Melanie & Paul.  We could not have been happier to be able to be a part of your epic day.
