    Tiffany & Mitch's Wedding | Chapel in the Garden, Port Orange, FL


    Tiffany and Mitch met in middle school but never hung out in the same circles. Although Tiffany always thought Mitch was cute, a love did not blossom until many years later. Relationships came and went in both of their lives but they never found their "one." After traveling down some rather rocky roads in their lives eventually their paths crossed once again. At a restaurant in their hometown they found one another at last. Sparks flew and seemingly overnight Mitch and Tiffany were inseparable. After so many years had gone by fate brought them both back to their home town where the bad boy from middle school could finally be with the sweet girl next door.

    Tiffany and Mitch planned their wedding in just three short weeks. They had waited so long already to be together, they didn't want to waste any more time. They were married on a cold Friday night at the Chapel in the Garden in Port Orange, FL. Surrounded by their family and friends, they, along with Mitch's daughter Alanna, became a family. The ceremony was heartwarming and sincere as these two finally joined paths for the rest of their lives.

    Tiffany and Mitch presented Alanna with a necklace to show their commitment to being her loving parents.

    So I never showcase the formals on the blog or the website (mostly because they are just a bit boring)... but this is proof we actually do take them. I love this one in particular because of Alanna's pose of choice.

    I love this shot... Can't you just see it as a huge 5 foot long canvas print hung over a sofa. Gorgeous!

    Tiffany & Mitch... Thank you both so much for inviting us into your lives and allowing us to tell your love story. We are so glad you two have finally found your other halves. We can't imagine either of you with anyone else. You seem custom made for one another. Alanna is a very lucky girl to have so much love in her life.

    Lots of love to all three of you!
    Mel & Brad

    That chapel is just too darling!! And yes, I agree about that one shot being perfect for a canvas. It's so beautiful and says "This day is about you and me and what just happened in this sacred place." Very sweet!

    Thanks you guys. This was such a sweet little wedding. We only shot for 90 minutes so I was excited that we got so much good stuff during such a short amount of time.

    Lyndsay that is my favorite shot too. Brad is the king of the ninja shooting! :)
