Joseph and Melissa | Sonshine Barn

Joseph and Melissa Sonshine Barn Gaylord Wedding

'I remember.  The sky was a soft blue.  In every corner I could see the softest fluffy clouds, even softer than the blue sky.  It was Spring and the songbirds were trilling in the trees. The sunshine kissed our skin until it left a faint trail of freckles just about our noses.  All the trees were budding and there were flowers everywhere.'

We met Joseph and Melissa on a beautiful May morning at Sonshine Barn for their wedding day.

Melissa and her bridesmaids were attending to the final details of getting ready--curling hair, applying mascara, and painting nails. Meanwhile, just across the drive, Joseph fixed his tie, laced his shoes, and adjusted his watch. He was calm, collected, and ready to go. Now he eagerly awaited the first look with his bride-to-be.  

Finally, once everyone and everything was ready, Melissa fluttered down the stone path where she met Joseph by the fountain.  It was a genuine reaction of pure giddiness between the two of them as they saw each other for the first time. You know that feeling when you realize you get to marry your best friend? You could see it echoed happily in their faces. It was the perfect jump start to the day.

The sun shone in full force during the ceremony but softened later to a golden glow. In the evening, the sun illuminated the path they took together through the yard. It was there during golden hour underneath the trees where he twirled her and they danced.

Joseph and Melissa, it was certainly an honor to capture your beautiful wedding day. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Vue!
