Joe + Mellissa Grippe | Fall Wedding | Cedarburg, Wisconsin

Dance & play a little.  Share a flirty glance.  Be silly, laugh big & kiss a little, or ALOT.  That's how I describe the love shared between Joe & Mellissa. I met this happy couple in the beginning of 2015.  Their engagement session took place during the melting snow.  The family portrait session with fur baby, Mona, was in Spring.  Finally, Fall!  Glorious red, orange, yellow colors.  Cool, crisp winds and love is in the air.  Joe and Mellissa's shared their wedding day with friends and family at The Hub, in Cedarburg, Wisconsin.  The venue is all encompassing with rustic charm and special touches such as a wooden gazebo & crossing bridge gracing the gardens next to the bubbling brook.  Mellissa wore a stunning white strapless wedding dressed adorned touches of beads and traditional items with something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.  It was Joe's job to find them all...lol.  Both set of parents were beaming with pride and happiness.  Mellissa's mom and dad's joyful tears pulled at my heart strings.  Joe's mom and dad cracked me up with their charm and funny jokes.  Watching Joe dance with his mom, that my friend was awesome!  The cake and frosting were made from scratch. All the creative decorative details and touches throughout the ceremony and reception site held a lot of meaning for the couple.  The love and support felt for Joe and Mellissa was amazing!  And for Mellissa..."Ball? Ball? Ball? Ball? lol. So what would Mona would say, right?  Such an honor to capture the story of your engagement and an even bigger honor capturing your wedding day.  Congratulations you two, I hope you enjoy this sneak peak of your day.
