chris + melissa = married! | wedding | oregon lifestyle photographer, kellie trenkle

on the 29th of may of twenty-ten,
chris and melissa said, "I Do!"
and you know what made their day memorable?

their ceremony began with a sunrise within the church sanctuary.

chris walked melissa down the aisle to the altar as melissa griffith.
and walked the recessional with a mrs. melissa mcghee on his arm.

this couple chose to bring the outdoors IN for their church wedding.

(oh, so many incredible details -- a truly PHENOMENAL wedding & reception put together by an amazingly talented creative GENIUS (imho), mr. andrew calvert of the perfect occasion! trust me, so much more of this goodness deserves to shine in its own post! stay tuned!)



melissa, chris... i hope your honeymoon has been wonderful!
here's of preview of my {captivating} bride and groom!

sit back, relax, bask... i can still feel their joy. i wonder if you can, too!

chris + melissa = married! | wedding | oregon lifestyle photographer, kellie trenkle

let's say you're single. and you work-out.
at the Downtown Fitness Club.

let's say someone catches your eye.
a few times.
and you seem to work-out about the same time as that someone each time you're there.

let's say, that the more often that someone catches your eye, the more thirsty you are, so you linger at the water fountain for a few more slurps. and read every jot & tittle on the hallway notices, just to keep that someone within sight for just a skoshe longer than yesterday.

let's say that you finally get up the nerve to smile at that someone and hold their gaze for a bit. And then you happen to leave at the same time and that someone drives the looooong way out of the parking lot just to have the opportunity to wave "good night."

after he did that. she soooooo asked him out. (was it before or after the time she nearly fell off her elliptical machine peering over the edge from the loft? oh yes, she very nearly & truly FELL for this guy.)

it's still heavy with the midnight air and the skies their darkest blue when her date showed up to drive them to a ridge in the country. their first hours together were spent watching the sun rise over the Callahan mountains.

pink and orange clouds.
cool blue mountains, dewy hues of green.
hints of golden sunshine.
and a promise of another day.



chris & melissa's love sparked at dawn that day.
three years later, they vowed to give each other all of their tomorrows.

(let's just say, you will want to check back to see their {captivating} may 29th wedding images!)
