Melissa + Scott Wedding

This weekend we traveled to Chanute, KS to photographed Melissa and Scott’s wedding.

Being a resident of Kansas for a portion of my life, I’ve never been to Chanute. Melissa and family joked about it because it’s one of those cities that you could drive straight through the entire city within five-minutes. (smile) Overall, it took us about 2-hours to get there.

It was cold but not to cold for Melissa, Scott and wedding party to capture a lot of photos throughout the city. All of their wedding pictures were taken before the ceremony with plenty of time to recoup before the wedding.

We felt a huge honor and privilege that they would reach out to us to document their nuptials. They allowed us to do what ever we wanted – no matter to what degree.

Thank you Melissa and Scott for the hospitality, accommodations, and friendships. I hope to see you all at Melissa and Brad’s wedding in July ’09. Thank you for the referral too.

BTW: Scott’s brother Sean gave the most profound “best man” speeches ever. He gave us chills and tears listening to the special brotherly love he has with Scott. Nothing can replace a strong since of family love and admiration.
