wedding: nick & melanie

Nick and Melanie are great friends of ours - Nick was a groomsman in our wedding back in 2010. So we were thrilled when they asked us to capture their wedding, for Michael to be a groomsman, and for lil Mikey to be the ring bearer. In addition to photography, we did the videography and brought our open-air photo booth. Check out the photo booth photos here.

Melanie is obsessed with the 1960s, and was inspired to do a Mad Men-esque soiree. She incorporated as many vintage details as possible. In addition, both she and Nick are Disney-lovers, so there were subtle Disney details like the Mickey Mouse Club vintage patch on her garter, and Cinderella's castle painted on the bottom of her vintage peep-toe pumps. The rustic vintage affair took place at McCormick Ranch in Camarillo. There was a tear-jerking ceremony; a cocktail hour featuring signature drinks such as the Peter Venkman (an ode to Nick's favorite movie, Ghostbusters); a lovely reception with delicious food by Stone Fire Grill, music, dancing, and games; all followed by a beautiful sparkler exit to a grand exit in a vintage car. Congrats to the happy couple! We're not going to lie--you may receive 50,000 photos of just Mikey as the ring bearer.
