Melissa and Mike could not have ordered a better day for their York wedding at the Union Bluff Hotel. The weather was perfect: not too hot, not too cold, and the sun was bright and clean and beautiful. Melissa was incredibly calm as she prepared, and her mom, her aunt, and her soon-to-be-mother-in-law were all there providing a calm support system, too. Her wedding was even more remarkable because Melissa did so many of the details herself: from the table decorations, to the flowers, to the signs, to even painting the bottom of her shoes to reflect her love of all things Disney--if she ever decided to go into Wedding Planning, she'd have an excellent career in front of her! Jess and I had a blast when Melissa and Mike's families all came together after their very sweet First Look--everyone is hilarious, and it's clear the joining of their families means a lot to both sides. Thank you so much for making us feel like we were a part of yours for the day, Melissa and Mike! <3

By the way, the Union Bluff is a spectacular location for a coastal wedding, and I can't say enough about how kind and hard-working all of the staff there is (and how nice they were to Jess and I thoughout the day)!
