Tiffany & Chris 09.13.09

I don’t ususally start my blog this way, but Tiffany & Chris were a last minute wedding and I think it best to let her tell it in her own words!

“Melissa was a life savor for my now husband Chris and I. Two weeks before our wedding we found out that our photographer we had booked could no longer shoot us. I was in a panic. I was telling my hairdresser about the situation we were in, she recommended Melissa to us. She was wonderful, I called her about 10 days before the wedding, and she meet with me right away. She was super sweet and really listened to what Chris and I had wanted and to what was important to us for our big day. She was in contact with us and kept us up to date on our photo’s. When we got our photo’s I was speechless. I watched the slideshow’s not once but twice and cried everytime. Our pictures were BEAUTIFUL!!! She captured moments I don’t remember happening. I love love love our wedding photo’s. Chris and I can not thank Melissa enough for giving us wonderful photo’s of our special day. I would recommend Melissa Koren Photography to any bride and groom that is looking for a photographer for their big day!!!”

That’s right – can you imagine?  You have all your ducks in a row, you’re ready to get married, and wham – your photographer just up and backs out.  I was SO SO SO happy when Tiff called me.  We were in the middle of packing & buying our house and it was a busy September.  I remember returning her voicemail and saying I can definitely help you out—but only if it’s the 13th.  And it was!  My thanks to her hairdresser Amy, was one half of the fabulous Amy & Greg who were married at The Margate in June 2008. 

Ok, enough story! More pictures! I arrived at Amy’s salon just as the finishing touches were being applied.

The youngest flower girl was not quite sure what to make of me or my camera – she warmed up to me by the end though 🙂

Tiff & her sisters getting everything in order and ready to go.

She crept down the stairs to see her Daddy who was waiting there BEAMING from ear to ear. I totally cried. They are such a sweet and loving family.

Then it was into her dad’s truck to go to the Church.  Little did her dad know that Tiff had a trick up her sleeve. P.S. Isn’t she too cute? She totally reminded me of Drew Barrymore – a great giggle & infectious smile and just happy and lovely.

Tiffany told her dad she forgot something and had him swing back – where he found out she had hired this GORGEOUS car as a surprise for him to take them to the church. 

Being so last minute, this was the first chance I had to meet Chris.  I gave him a quick hello and a reassuring smile and watched him watch his bride walk down the aisle.

Married!!

This car was h.o.t. hot – my dad was part of the “Cadillac Club” when I was a kid so classic cars are sort of part of my upbringing.  I don’t know the details but I can sure appreciate their awe-someness!  And I couldn’t resist a little fish-eye fun – it looks like a mini-mobile!

Then we headed to  The Oaks  in Somersworth, NH.  I was speechless – it was so beautiful!  We had a great time doing the newlywedded photos! 🙂

Tiffany got Chris the watch as a wedding gift – and I love LOVE LOVE the brushed silver cuff links.  Class acts these two!

Thank you wind for getting in my shot 😉

Pink!  I have to say these were the most fun & colorful centerpieces I’ve seen.  I love the candy & the vividness of it!

These two document everything! He even had the video camera set up when he asked Tiff to marry him – I so cried when I saw it!!

Yay! Time for cake!

Such a proud daddy!!

And then it was time to get down! Get Funky!

I love the background in this photo – body language can be a riot!

hmm… I wonder who’ll get the garter..

Tiff & Chris – I’m so so sorry you had to go through the stress of not knowing who your wedding photographer was going to be, but I’m glad that Amy mentioned me and that I was able to step in!  I had a blast!!  Thank you a million times over!
