Andy and Rosanna – Coronado Theatre, Rockford, IL Wedding

I’m so sorry, blog world!  I have neglected you a little too long this time!   I was in Illinois for 9 days and came home to a packed weekend in San Diego!  I have a TON of images to blog from the last two weeks!

First up, Rosy and Andy’s wedding in Rockford Illinois!  They were married in this rad old theatre, such a unique location!

They got to choose what the sign said on this side.  They told me they were trying to get the word “awesome” to make a come-back. I responded with “I never knew awesome was gone…”

August 4, 2009 - 6:36 am Cathy Crawley - Oh Melissa, these are sensational! You captured this wedding so beautifully, I love every single image. And just for the record, I didn't know awesome had gone out of fashion either, it's been in my vocabulary since 1991!

August 4, 2009 - 1:28 pm Angela (Eden) Statdfield - Melissa - Hi I am Andrew Eden's oldest sister, Angela. In the bridal line-up, I was 3rd from the left :) How do I access just a plain old website of pictures? Rosy emailed me your blog site, but I want to know how I can just sign in somewhere and view pictures. . .unless you don't have that feature on your website. The pictures are so beautiful it is driving me crazy not being able to view them all! :) Thanks!

August 6, 2009 - 8:49 am Kirsten Hedden - Well.....I finally made it back to your blog and as always simply AWESOME work!!! LOVE YOU!
