Melissa + Michael | Sharp Chapel Wedding Photography

Melissa and Michael were one of the most relaxed, laid back couples we’ve ever worked with! It’s always nice to see that people trust you to capture the special moments of their big day! We had such a great time with them!

When we arrived at the Ambassador Hotel, everyone was excited and getting ready. Melissa’s bridesmaids were all dressed in a beautiful kelly green color that we just loved and Melissa even had kelly green Nike sneakers for the reception to match! After Melissa was in her dress, we just had to use the fantastic window light to get some portraits of her before the day kicked into high gear! We’re glad we did! Once everyone was ready, we headed over to Sharp Chapel on the University of Tulsa campus. Melissa decided to do a first look with her dad and it was so sweet and emotional—there’s nothing quite like the relationship of a father and his daughter! After that, it was Michael’s turn to see the bride! We set Michael up in the middle of a path overlooking the campus for his first look with Melissa, and his face was absolutely priceless when he saw her! (Have we mentioned how much we love first looks?!) After they had seen each other, we shot some bride and groom portraits, and then we got some shots of the whole bridal party. The ceremony was gorgeous and after Melissa and Michael were officially husband and wife, we had the chance to capture some extra bride and groom portraits with the incredible sunset. Then the party moved to the German American Society. The reception was lots of fun and their favors were so clever—prescription bottles filled with M & Ms (for Melissa and Michael) since they’re pharmacists! We ended the evening with a grand exit, complete with green glow sticks!

It was such a pleasure to photography Melissa and Michael’s wedding day!
