Jess and Todd were married at Todd’s parent’s home on Verona Island. The weather report called for rain, but it was sunny with blue skies during the ceremony! We had to book it into the tent shortly after the ceremony, though- we had a crazy rain storm, followed by a beautiful evening! The wedding coordinator was Amber Small of Sweetest Thing Weddings, and the flowers were done by Todd’s mom, the owner of Island Flowers. Here are a few of my faves, or view their slideshow here or their gallery here:
The gorgeous flowers!
The beautiful colors and unique centerpieces:
I absolutely fell in love with Jess and Todd’s dog! He was an honorary member of the wedding party and was so well behaved! I’m pretty sure that my dog would have eaten the flowers and then followed his nose to the tent to eat the food…
The DJ was fabulous- the dance floor was packed all night!
There was an incredible moon, and the tent looked just fabulous!
The pictures came out amazing Michelle!!! You really capture the beauty of the day!! Jess and Todd are one of my favorite couples… I was so pleased to work with you and look forward to working with you again….soon!

It cannot be said enough, these pictures a beautiful! The black and white of Todd and Jessica and the one with Murphy two of my favorites. I don’t know if any other wedding can top it and fortunately, we’ll have all of your beautiful pictures to remember 8/16/08 by. Thank you Michelle!
Geez……..I look really good in these!
Breathtaking…i felt like they could’ve been in a magazine. hope to see more soon!
Your pictures have captured the essence of a wonderful wedding weekend – a beautiful bride, a handsome groom, a cute dog, and a spectacular location. Kudos to you and to the Gordons and Russells for a job well done. We had a blast!
The photos are really beautiful and a wonderful reminder of the very special day for Jessica and Todd. Michelle did a wonderful job capturing the beauty and love of Jessica and Todd. Our family is so blessed to have been a part of their special day. We can’t wait to see more
I thought the pictures were beautiful! The black and white one of Jessica and Todd is definitely my favorite. I cant wait to see more!
These pictures are phenomenal! You definitely captured that whole wonderful day very well! The pictures of the gorgeous bride and her dashing groom are awesome as well as the scenic shot of the lit-up tent with the moon overhead. I’m sure the rest of the pictures are just as amazing and I cannot wait to view them all!
This was quite and event; an inspirational couple, a magical day, perfectly-timed weather, gorgeous setting, lovely flowers and fun people all captured by a shooter that i don’t even recall seeing. We have been to weddings where the photographer seemed to think he/she was the most important person there, whose arrogance got in the way of the art; not so with this lady. Nice job. Hope to see more of the photos.
spectacular photos of a beautiful couple. can’t wait to see more.
Wow! The pictures are gorgeous and very representative of, by far, the nicest wedding I have ever been to. Well done.
