Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.

I’m soooo excited to finally share this wedding by Mandi! This may be one of my favorite weddings by her, ever! This wedding was featured on the awesome blog, Bridal Musings. To see even more photos and read words from the bride herself, click here.
Words from Katie: Mandi of Melissa McClure Photography had an exceptional portfolio and meeting with her was just amazing. She timed everything just right, she was practically my coordinator! She kept me on time and she captured the most special moments. I’m really awkward when taking pictures because I never know what to do, but she made me feel so comfortable. She was my rock. I couldn’t have done it without her!
And now on to the beautiful images by Mandi….
