Tad Akers Wedding Photography: Melinda and Caleb

When I think of Melinda and Caleb, I think of friends- genuine and just sweet as a button. Although there were a few bumps in the road during their planning, they were able to find a new venue that worked great for them. 

When I see Melinda and Caleb together, my heart just melts because I can see how in love they are with each other. :)

I am so appreciative to Melinda, Caleb and her mom Norma for just making me feel right at home with their wonderful family!!  Your next Norma!! :)

Here is a list of their incredible vendors:

Ceremony: Pine Drive Community Church 

Reception: Tad Akers Event Facility

Invitations: Wedding Paper Divas

Cake:  Cakes by Jula

Flowers: Nasa Flowers

Dress: Weddings by Debbie

Tuxes: Men’s Wearhouse

Plus all the details…  Melinda said to me “I told Caleb I needed a pretty perfume because I was sure it would come out in the pictures.” Yes it did!
