I was so ecstatic to capture their engagement session in LBI following their actual engagement on a vacation with Melissa's family in Nashville, and then their wedding at Skytop Lodge in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania! Although the wedding day was full of mist and fog, I think that just made it all the more magical!  Ryan and I had a phenomenal time with Melissa and Jim and all of their friends and family!!  :)  I hope you enjoy the sneak peek of their gorgeous wedding! Check out her gorgeous dress!!! I love that she had a piece of her moms veil wrapped around the stem of her bouquet!! The boys started the day out by golfing, of course! A toast before the ceremony! The lovely ladies who weren't afraid to get a little wet in the mist!The dashing gentlemen!I love love love it when a groom tears up when he sees his bride! It is one of the sweetest sites to see!The coolest bridal party! (I'm partial since I know a lot of them! lol!)It's all so magical...I've got to say that at the reception... it was the first time we've ever seen this happen... Jimmy doing the "Dougie" Love it!
