Melissa and Sergio-Wild Dunes Resort wedding

Posted on July 9, 2012

…

Melissa and Serg have a fairy-tale story.

Have you ever been on a trip to a new and exotic (to you) location, and you think how romantic it would be to look across a crowded room and see your future husband? And you overcome culture and language and citizenship barriers to be together, because as a couple, you were both meant to be, and unstoppable?

That’s these two. Pretty cool. They met when Melissa was on a mission trip in Costa Rica a few years ago and have been together ever since. This year, Sergio moved to the U.S. to be with Melissa, who just graduated from MUSC’s PA program.

Getting ready at Belazza Salon and Spa :

Uninvited, misbehaving guests. Gnats. They have no sense of decorum. What can you do?

Gorgeous, vibrant flowers from the Charleston Flower Market.

These are from the bride and groom session we did the Wednesday before the wedding.

Cake by The Cake Stand. I’ve never seen a design quite like this one and I loved it.

Fantastic storytelling during the prep & ceremony (especially love the ones with the kids, always make for some awesome moments and the portraits of them like the one of them on the swing, but that last photo just makes the whole post. Such pure happiness at the end of the night – well seen!
