Melanie & Justin are married!
When it came time for Melanie & Justin to plan their wedding, they knew for certain they wanted it to be in Eagle Waters, Wisconsin. It’s a utopia for them. A home away from home. It’s more so even now that they have an official “Justin and Melanie Day” declared after them and a key to the city of Three Lakes!
Melanie & Justin’s first look was one we’ll never forget. When Justin turned around, he grinned from ear to ear and yelled “holy f***!” We were in a forest, so yeah, yell it out, Justin! They were so excited to see each other and start their wedding day! Melanie said, “As cliché as it sounds, the wedding day and planning leading up to it go by in the blink of an eye” … “the most exciting thing to look forward to is the special moments you don’t plan. Those will be the moments you want to bottle up and never forget.”
During the ceremony overlooking the lake, the thick wall of clouds opened up and let the most beautiful rays of sunshine in. Melanie & Justin ended up saying this was their favorite part of the day. “We keep coming back to the moment the sun peeked out of the clouds as we were saying our vows. It made us feel like those who couldn’t be there were smiling down on us. It was an incredible moment that could never be planned.”
During their engagement session, we asked Justin what he was most looking forward to on the wedding day. He turned to us and said “…. the smooch. [as remembered] I can’t wait to plant a big smooch on Melanie after the ceremony!” They are not afraid to love on each other big time. Their chemistry is just … Melanie & Justin. If you know them, you know. If you don’t know them personally, take some notes. Melanie & Justin brought some crazy romance to their portraits!
Congratulations Melanie & Justin!
