Rigo & Melissa


I had the great honor and pleasure of shooting my first wedding for my wonderful neighbors and friends, Rigo & Melissa!   I met Melissa at her hotel room, where she was getting ready with her girls.








There was a slight dress mishap, but Melissa's mom was able to take care of it with the in-room sewing kit!





Rigo sent over a gift for Melissa before the ceremony..



it was a beautiful ring with her birth stone in it.


Champagne time!




Proud dad taking a few photos before heading out.


Meanwhile, my brother in law, Alex, was with the guys as they got ready at the church.



A few shots of tequila might have been involved...







 Family was taking care of business at the church.


Sebi was anxiously awaiting the bride and groom!























With the vows made and the rings exchanged, Melissa placed a bouquet on the Virgin Mary's altar.



And they became man and wife!



After the ceremony the wedding party headed out for some photos together at the Glen Town Center.








Then we headed off to the reception!







Melissa's cousins gave a couple of heartfelt speeches that had Melissa tearing up.




While Rigo's brother had them all laughing!




  




A mariachi band played during dinner.



 And Rigo even sang to Melissa with them- so sweet!




The photo-booth props were a hit!




Then the real party began!










Bouquet toss!


I love this kid's confusion during the garter pull!



Lot's of dancing and fun was had by all!


Thank you so much for having me be a part of your big day!  Congratulations!
